Positional aspect - ichinomen

Japanese: 位置の面 - いちのめん
Positional aspect - ichinomen

...Therefore, it is common to observe multiple specific curves or surfaces that include one's own position, and determine the position by finding their common parts. The specific curves and specific surfaces mentioned here are called the line of position or the surface of position, respectively, and their usage differs depending on the coordinate system and the origin that they are based on. In general, the line of position is used in navigation on the Earth's surface, while the surface of position is used in navigation for aircraft and spacecraft, but since aircraft fly relatively close to the Earth's surface, the line of position is also often used.

*Some of the terminology explanations that refer to the "position aspect" are listed below.
