meshes
Engages like gears
Meshes is the plural of mesh—interlaced structures with regular openings, like nets, screens, or woven fabric: The meshes of the fishing net were too wide to catch smaller fish.
In computing and 3D modeling, meshes are surfaces built from connected polygons.
When gears mesh, their teeth interlock; when ideas mesh, they fit together coherently: Their plans didn't mesh.
