Seed The word vertical means to be in a direction, or having an alignment, such that the top is directly above the bottom (Oxford). Vertical  suggests a line or direction rising straight upward toward a zenith. (Merriam Webster) The vertical principle states that we rise only as high as we invest beneath.
