metric

In mathematics terms the difference between metric and index

is that metric is a measurement of the "distance" between two points in some metric space: it is a real-valued function d(x,y) between points x and y satisfying the following properties: (1) "positive definiteness": $d(x,y)\; \backslash ge\; 0$ and $d(x,y)\; =\; 0\; \backslash mbox\{\; iff\; \}\; x=y$, (2) "symmetry": $d(x,y)\; =\; d(y,x)$, and (3) "triangle inequality": $d(x,y)\; \backslash le\; d(x,z)\; +\; d(z,y)$ while index is a raised suffix indicating a power.
