A radial slice of a k-dimensional shape is the BSM intersection of that shape with a m-dimensional hyperspace containing a given n-dimensional hyperspace, where 0 ≤ n < m < k. Obviously, radial slices only exist for shapes of two dimensions or higher.
Usually, a "zero angle" is set for a shape and a particular n-space, and its radial slices can then be indexed by the angle between a given radial slice and the zero angle.
