We have to break up a term into several or drop certain meanings. This
is where the definition is crucial.
image is both a noun and a verb, and there are two meaning of the noun,
so we need three terms where there is now 1.
image - n. a photograph or digital representation of a scene obtained by
a camera.
focal_image - n. the illusion of a scene created by the focusing of
light by a lens or a camera.
image_act - v. the act of creating a focal_image
Coma has 3 meanings that I can think of, but one, a prolonged state of
unconsciousnous, we probably can survive without. For the others we
need to break into two:
comet_coma - the bright cloud containing the nucleus of a comet and
constituting a major portion of the head of a comet.
coma - a crescent shaped distortion to point sources in the focal_image
of an optical system.
