=== Definition #69656 - Preferred ===<br />
<br />
==== definition ====<br />
x<sub>1</sub> (linear manifold, vector, etc.) is/lies secant to x<sub>2</sub> (object, surface, curve, manifold, etc.) passing through or toward points/loci x<sub>3</sub> (set of intersected points), by standard/definition/in system x<sub>4</sub>.<br />
==== notes ====<br />
No necessary implication of co-directionality. No implication about nontriviality (id est: possibly includes diameters/radii or tangents). Prone to mathematical/geometric generalization. It can be used metaphorically as in English ("secantial") for a line of discussion (x<sub>1</sub>) which relates to or touches the general topic or discussion (x<sub>2</sub>) in a non-distant manner or in several ways or at multiple points (more intimately than "tangential" implies, but still as sidetrack/a bit off-topic), the latter acting as the primary/main/current/relevant/focal topic or discussion, due to or at a connecting points/details/particular subtopics/ideas (x<sub>3</sub>), with x<sub>1</sub> being a somewhat relevant or interesting branching line of thought other than the main one; in this case, it is understood in sensu stricto (nontrivially/strictly/properly/[[praperi|praperi]] secant).
