What is it about?
In order to solve the issue of the break in movements that introduces violations of the triangle inequality, one of the 4 properties of metrics, we introduce a new form of metric

Why is it important?
Contextual metric allow to describe -- without mathematical, logical discrepancies -- the geometry of geographical spaces, which was impossible before Contextual metric is THE geometry of geographical space
Perspectives
We should now apply this model, and we are seeking empirics of distance measurements containing some forms of breaks, this could be trips of electric vehicles including charging, elderly pedestrian movements including sequences of bench rest, etc.
