Definition
A natural equation is an intrinsic equation for a space curve $C$ such that $C$ is expressed in terms of its intrinsic properties:

Some sources use the term natural equation for the generic concept of what on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ refers to as an intrinsic equation.
However, $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ prefers to separate out the concepts, with the view that this should increase clarity of understanding.
