What's the difference between section and vection?
Section
Definition:
(n.) The act of cutting, or separation by cutting; as, the section of bodies.
(n.) A part separated from something; a division; a portion; a slice.
(n.) A distinct part or portion of a book or writing; a subdivision of a chapter; the division of a law or other writing; a paragraph; an article; hence, the character /, often used to denote such a division.
(n.) A distinct part of a country or people, community, class, or the like; a part of a territory separated by geographical lines, or of a people considered as distinct.

(n.) The figure made up of all the points common to a superficies and a solid which meet, or to two superficies which meet, or to two lines which meet. In the first case the section is a superficies, in the second a line, and in the third a point.
(n.) A division of a genus; a group of species separated by some distinction from others of the same genus; -- often indicated by the sign /.
(n.) A part of a musical period, composed of one or more phrases. See Phrase.
(n.) The description or representation of anything as it would appear if cut through by any intersecting plane; depiction of what is beyond a plane passing through, or supposed to pass through, an object, as a building, a machine, a succession of strata; profile.

Vection
Definition:
(n.) Vectitation.
Example Sentences:
(1) Epinephrine increased significantly (P less than 0.05) after vection only in the nauseated subjects, whereas dopamine levels were not altered by vection in either group.
(2) The sensation of limited body tilt has been attributed to conflict between visually-induced vection, and otolithic and somatosensory graviceptive information which indicates that the body has not moved.
(3) In addition, attention is given to the differential impairment of linear and circular vection and to the possible clinical application of vestibular evoked potentials.
(4) U.S. Coast Guard helicopter pilots were questioned on the occurrence of the vection illusion while flying over water under different light and sea conditions.
(5) A stationary subject surrounded by a visual display rotating about an earth-horizontal axis typically experiences a sensation of continuous self-rotation (vection) coupled with a paradoxical sensation of a limited degree of body tilt, both opposite to the direction of the stimulus.
