quadrilinearly means in a quadrilinear manner.
Why “quadrilinearly” is a great word
In a manner involving or relating to four lines, or expressed by a quadrilinear form. From the English adjective quadrilinear (from quadri- ("four") + linear ("of or relating to a line")) + the adverbial suffix -ly. Unlike "linearly," which charts a solitary path, or "bilinearly," which maps a dialogue between two, to operate quadrilinearly is to coordinate a quiet congress of four. It is the unseen geometry binding the legs of a grazing giraffe, the four parallel scratches left on a frosty windowpane, or the abstract dance of interdependent quantities in a sparse equation—a modest testament to the fact that complexity often begins not in the ornate, but in the simple act of counting.
