Editing General position (section)

==Abstractly: configuration spaces==
In very abstract terms, '''general position''' is a discussion of [[generic property|generic properties]] of a [[configuration space (mathematics)|configuration space]]; in this context one means properties that hold on the [[generic point]] of a configuration space, or equivalently on a Zariski-open set.

This notion coincides with the [[measure theory|measure theoretic]] notion of generic, meaning [[almost everywhere]] on the configuration space, or equivalently that points chosen at random will [[almost surely]] (with probability 1) be in general position.
