The visualization of the contact area of an enacted Environmental Weapon encompassing the entire length of said Environmental Weapon.

Comments:

Geometric Path is frequently referred to as path - dropping the geometric.

Geometric Path is often used interchangeably with Path of Travel, but they are technically different. Where Geometric Path commonly refers to the Environmental Weapon itself and Path of Travel refers to the route of the maneuver.

When Geometric Path is used to refer to the route, it is closely tied to the Zone Concept of Directional Movement.

Geometric Path differs from Geometric Line, in that Geometric Path refers the entire length of Environmental Weapon being used to enact the maneuver - rather than just the tip.

The Squeegee Principle is a direct result of analysis of Geometric Paths and their application.

In the context of defensive maneuvers:

a.implementing this method creates greater Margin for Error- thus allowing for greater protection.

b.Geometric Paths tend to be more effective for defensive maneuvers

In the context of offensive maneuvers:

implementing this method generally creates an increased impact zone of the Environmental Weapon with the target, causing a decreased amount of pressure per square inch on the intended target - thus causing a possible lessening of the effect of the strike.

Like Geometric Lines, Geometric Paths fall into one of the following categories:

a.Linear

b.Circular

c.combination of both

The terms Geometric Path and Geometric Line are often used interchangeably, but technically are different.

Example(s):

The execution of an Inward Block is an example of enacting a maneuver using a Geometric Path.
