Taxicab Geometry
Ok, Taxicab Geometry is deceptively simple. It's exactly like Euclidean, except distance is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the diferences pf the corrdinates.
OR: dT = |AX - BX| + |AY - BY| + |AZ - BZ| + ...

And you define everyting based on locuses and distance. Circle is easy. A segment = {P | dT(P, A) + dT(P, B) = dT(A, B)}

Confused yet?
