The orthic axis associated with a normalized orthocentric system A, B, C and H, where ABC is the reference triangle, is a line that passes through three intersection points formed when each side of the orthic triangle meets each side of the reference triangle. Now consider the three other possible triangles, ABH, ACH and BCH. They each have their own orthic axis.

“A person, seasoned with a just sense of the imperfections of natural reason, will fly to revealed truth with the greatest avidity: while the haughty Dogmatist, persuaded that he can erect a compleat system of Theology by the mere help of philosophy, disdains any further aid, and rejects this adventitious instructor.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Henothing common did, or mean,
Upon the memorable Scene:
But with his keener Eye
The Axes edge did try:”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
