Standardized, mathematically rigorous nomenclature for multi-mirror anastigmatic systems simplifies communication and navigation of complex design spaces. By moving beyond designer-based naming conventions, this approach enables clearer classification of TMAs, 4MAs, and higher-order systems. This framework is essential for managing the increasing diversity of geometries enabled by modern freeform optics.
