The functional programming introduced by Geometrica in geometry is illustrated with various aspects of the concept of parallelism. Parallelism is well defined for continuous curve. Its generalization consists of defining a curve whose distance to a reference curve varies according to a given law. Such a curve is called paraxial. Applications to architecture and optics are proposed.
