Clarify the distinction between curved and deviation

[rays22]

Shapes, curves, spatial patterns, deviation in PATO

• PATO:0000052 shape A morphological quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's ratios of distances between its features (points, edges, surfaces and also holes etc). comment: Shapes are invariant on size transformations. Shapes can be subdivided into 2D and 3D shapes. We can also make a distinction between shapes of complete self-connected objects, and shapes of parts of objects.
  • PATO:0000406 curved A curvature quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's having or being marked by a curve or smoothly rounded bend.
    • PATO:0002164 curved medial A curvature quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's being curved towards the middle.
• PATO:0000060 spatial pattern A spatial quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's exhibiting repetition of placement of its parts. Synonyms: distribution
  • PATO:0002175 deviation A spatial quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's changed direction of position towards another entity.
    • PATO:0002177 deviation towards the medial side A deviation quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's changed direction of position towards the middle.
