Conice

Conice is a term that can refer to several different concepts, primarily in the fields of mathematics and computer science.

In mathematics, "conice" is often used as an archaic or non-standard term for a conic section, which is a curve obtained as the intersection of the surface of a cone with a plane. The common types of conic sections are the ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola, along with degenerate cases such as a point, a line, and two intersecting lines.

In computer science, particularly in the context of databases and data modeling, "conice" might be used informally or in specific, proprietary systems to describe a concept related to data consolidation, convergence, or some form of interconnectedness between data points. However, it is not a widely recognized or standard term in general computer science discourse.

The precise meaning of "conice" can therefore depend heavily on the context in which it is used. Without further clarification, it is most likely to refer to the mathematical concept of conic sections, though its usage in this regard is less common than the standard English term.
