==Background== Building on our [[User:Tohline/Appendix/Ramblings/DirectionCosines|general introduction to ''Direction Cosines'']] in the context of orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems, and on our previous development of the so-called [[User:Tohline/Appendix/Ramblings/ConcentricEllipsodalCoordinates#Analysis|T6]] (concentric elliptic) coordinate system, here we take a somewhat daring attack on this problem, mixing our approach to identifying the expression for the third curvilinear coordinate. Broadly speaking, this entire study is motivated by our [[User:Tohline/ThreeDimensionalConfigurations/Challenges#Trial_.232|desire to construct a fully analytically prescribable model of a nonuniform-density ellipsoidal configuration that is an analog to Riemann S-Type ellipsoids]]. <table border="1" cellpadding="8" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="9">'''Direction Cosine

This is because the direction-cosine functions associated with both <math>~\lambda_1</math> and <math>~\lambda_3</math> remain unchanged, so it must be true that the cross product of the first and third unit vectors leads to the same components for the second unit vector.
