Quote:(via is a roadway, not a method, which is modus. And I think you're looking for the contrast between "proper" -- maybe rectus, but I think verus sums it up better -- and "improper" -- corruptus has undertones of "disorderly" as well as "improper". Finally, I think modus exercitûs, "the method of the army", rhymes nicely with the other two. Don't you think?)
Tempus to check OLD, Oxford Latin Dictionary, which gives some alternative definitions for via:
7. A course of action or conduct
8. A way of achieving or attaining
9. Means of achieving some object
10. method
So I think that via is certainly suitable, it can refer to either a physical or a metaphysical roadway.
