Squigonometry
Squigonometry or -trigonometry is a generalization of traditional trigonometry which replaces the circle and Euclidean distance function with the squircle (shape intermediate between a square and circle) and -norm. While trigonometry deals with the relationships between angles and lengths in the plane using trigonometric functions defined relative to a unit circle, squigonometry focuses on analogous relationships and functions within the context of a unit squircle.
