struggling to name the knots in my spline tool
like, "knot values" is a weird name for what it is, but the issue is that they can either be shape parameters or time values (or both), but I feel weird calling them "time values", because it assumes it's necessarily related to time

for NURBS, they're almost certainly just shape parameters
for a hermite spline, they're almost certainly time values
for a catmull-rom spline they could be either depending on use case
for a linear spline they might even be distance values

similarly, the derivative of a spline could be called velocity, but, this again presumes the parameter value represents (or should be interpreted as) time
I'm using those names right now, but I worry someone might mistake them for being something they're not
