Dr. Bob wonders: what would you call quadrivial?
Umm, lessee, I keep forgetting...arithmetic, geography? astronomy? what's the other one? Common thread here?
Oh, OK, I googled it (yes it is googlable™):
QUADRIVIUM: In the Middle Ages, the higher division of the seven liberal arts, comprising the mathematical sciences (arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music).
So, quadrivial would be meaninglessly intricate?
