Adjacent or they’re on a spectrum or gradient or something?

Edit- seems to be colinear

      I dont think thats quite it, you can have a curve and it becomes non-linear or something

      Thats just me talking out my “intuition” hole tho

        They are co-linear. You may draw a curve that intersects both points, but they are still co-linear. Those two points, the line and curve can come together to define a portion of the circle, and/or a portion of the arc known as a segment. Those two points also define a line segment, 2/3 of a triangle, 1/4 of a square, etc. They can define an entire circle if one point is the center point. Or they can be completely as unrelated as possible, making them merely colinear.
