Notation & Naming Explanation

Naming Convention:
The first four geometry types — Mono, Duo, Triangle, and Quadri — use terms rooted in classical or commonly used mathematical language, reflecting intuitive and widely recognized configurations.
From Penta Geometry onward, the names are derived from Ancient Greek numerals (Penta, Hexa, Hepta, Octa, Nona), marking a shift to more formal and historically grounded terminology often used in polygonal classification and mathematical literature.

Notation Explanation:
An nP-/nL framework refers to a geometric configuration defined by n points and/or n lines.
The slash “/” indicates that the framework may include either points, lines, or a combination of both.
This notation is used to classify geometric entities based on their minimal reference base in planar (2D) geometry.
