Topic: Nomenclature for n-2 composition?

Shea Levy (Nov 09 2020 at 16:04):

Is there a name for the compositions past "vertical" and "horizontal"? E.g. tensoring of 2-cells in a monoidal 2-cat or composing 3-cells across objects in a 3-cat?

The nLab article for Triple Category suggests that "transversal" might be what you're looking for.
