As used herein, “locus” refers to a place or area where something is situated or occurs. Locus can also refer to a center of activity, attention, or concentration and/or the set of all points whose location is determined by stated conditions. (search "locus" on Merriam-Webster.com. Merriam-Webster, 2021. Web. 30 Aug. 2021. Modified.)
A locus may be defined using various techniques, formulae, algorithms, representations, and/or models. For example, a geometric point, a line, a plane, 2D shape, or 3D shape in a three-dimensional coordinate system may define a locus. Alternatively, or in addition, a mathematical formula and/or an algorithm may define the locus for a mesh. A locus serves as a reference for another characteristic, attribute, or feature.
