Zome vs. Geometry — What's the Difference?

The term zome is used in several related senses. A zome in the original sense is a building using unusual geometries (different from the standard house or other building which is essentially one or a series of rectangular boxes).

Geometry (from the Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- "earth", -metron "measurement") is, with arithmetic, one of the oldest branches of mathematics. It is concerned with properties of space that are related with distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures.

A building with unusual geometry.

The mathematics of the properties, measurement, and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids.

A system of geometry

A geometry restricted to a class of problems or objects

A book on geometry.

Configuration; arrangement.

A surface shape.

A physical arrangement suggesting geometric forms or lines.

The branch of mathematics dealing with spatial relationships.

A mathematical system that deals with spatial relationships and that is built on a particular set of axioms; a subbranch of geometry which deals with such a system or systems.

(countable) The observed or specified spatial attributes of an object, etc.

A mathematical object comprising representations of a space and of its spatial relationships.

That branch of mathematics which investigates the relations, properties, and measurement of solids, surfaces, lines, and angles; the science which treats of the properties and relations of magnitudes; the science of the relations of space.
