(literature) The way in which line breaks are inserted in a poem
Lineationnoun
Delineation; a line or lines.
Lineationnoun
the line that appears to bound an object
Lineationnoun

Foliationnoun

Foliationnoun
(publishing) The process of forming into pages; pagination.
Foliationnoun
(botany) The manner in which the young leaves are disposed within the bud.
Foliationnoun
The act of beating a metal into a thin plate, leaf, foil, or lamina.
Foliationnoun
The act of coating with an amalgam of tin foil and quicksilver, as in making looking-glasses.
Foliationnoun
The enrichment of an opening by means of foils, arranged in trefoils, quatrefoils, etc.; also, one of the ornaments.
Foliationnoun
(geology) The property, possessed by some crystalline rocks, of being divided into plates or layers, due to the cleavage structure of one of the constituents, as mica or hornblende. It may sometimes include slaty structure or cleavage, though the latter is usually independent of any mineral constituent, and transverse to the bedding, it having been produced by pressure.
Foliationnoun
(topology) A set of submanifolds of a given manifold, each of which is of lower dimension than it, but which, taken together, are coextensive with it.
Foliationnoun
The process of forming into a leaf or leaves.
Foliationnoun
The manner in which the young leaves are dispo ed within the bud.
Foliationnoun
The act of beating a metal into a thin plate, leaf, foil, or lamina.

Foliationnoun
The property, possessed by some crystalline rocks, of dividing into plates or slabs, which is due to the cleavage structure of one of the constituents, as mica or hornblende. It may sometimes include slaty structure or cleavage, though the latter is usually independent of any mineral constituent, and transverse to the bedding, it having been produced by pressure.
Foliationnoun
(botany) the process of forming leaves
Foliationnoun

Foliationnoun
(architecture) leaf-like architectural ornament
Foliationnoun
the production of foil by cutting or beating metal into thin leaves
Foliationnoun
the work of coating glass with metal foil
Foliation
In mathematics (differential geometry), a foliation is an equivalence relation on an n-manifold, the equivalence classes being connected, injectively immersed submanifolds, all of the same dimension p, modeled on the decomposition of the real coordinate space Rn into the cosets x + Rp of the standardly embedded subspace Rp. The equivalence classes are called the leaves of the foliation.
