noncoincident
Failing to overlap
Not occurring at the same time or place; not overlapping or aligned.
Two events are noncoincident when they happen separately: The noncoincident schedules made it impossible for them to meet.
In technical contexts, noncoincident points or lines don't share the same position in space.
The term appears in engineering, statistics, and physics where precise distinctions about timing or spatial arrangement matter.
