   Format: MarkdownItexI added a note about what "projectively flat" means in the context of parabolic Cartan geometry. I would assume that this should mean the same thing as "a connection which is flat up to central term" as described in the first sentence? <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/diff/projectively+flat+connection/2">diff</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/projectively+flat+connection/2">v2</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/projectively+flat+connection">current</a>

   Format: MarkdownItexWhat does it mean a central term ? In the center of the Lie algebra ? Is the terminology "projectively flat" used only for Cartan connections or for general Ehresmann connections as well ? I am intending to do a stub on projective structures/locally projective geometries and having problem with disambiguations and possible collisions in terminology.
