Parameterized (Now, here I draw the line. Parameter shouldn't be verbed. It's just not right.)

I'm sorry, was that my head spinning full-round? Yes, I think it was. Ouch.

I agree. "Perimeter" should not be verbed. Many nouns shouldn't be verbed. Should "verb" be verbed? (or are we using it as an adjective since not only is it FUNCTIONING but "verb" is being DESCRIBED as such?)

I'm sorry, did I just make it worse?

To verb or not to verb

I think "constrained" could probably be used for most of what "parameterized" might mean. That is what geologists tend to use. I did use to use alot of words like that back when I was into computer models and such.
