The two articles that link to this one seem to have in mind something quite different, and, confusingly, both use voltage as their example, just as this one does. I suspect that cross variable was intended here, so that it should begin by saying
 * Talk:


 * A cross variable is ...

instead of


 * Across variable is ...

It makes sense to speak of voltage being relative in some contexts; that seems to be what is meant by saying voltage is a "cross variable". It also makes sense to assume voltage flows across a boundary in some cases; that is what is meant by saying voltage is an "across variable" in the article titled flux.

 * A very cursory search perusal gives a typical definition at: I think across variable is what is meant. Some of the other definitions found also use voltage. -Vina 20:00, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Flux uses 'across variable' as a counterpoint to 'through variable', so I think that the leading 'a' is appropriate. That said, both terms smack of juvenility, as though they were coined by an academically but not linguistically precocious high-school student.  --Smack (talk) 01:23, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
