:: So could the term be repurposed for something more useful (like scales with negative or blown-out steps)?

::: Common examples like collapsed and equalized scales are more accurately described as {{w|Degeneracy (mathematics)|degenerate}} than {{w|Pathological (mathematics)|pathological}}. If you look at examples of pathological objects in mathematics from the Wikipedia article, you'll notice that they're not just "exaggerated" versions of common stuff, they really behave strangely and unintuitively. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 15:10, 16 April 2025 (UTC) | |||
