This is a quote from a historical text by Argentine Rodrigo Bonome
Rodrigo Bonome dice: “La geometría es al paisaje lo que la jaula es al pájaro. Aquella será un recurso de equilibrio. Sometido al rigor de sus leyes, el paisaje se verá liberado de cuanta línea no juegue un rol categórico. El sometimiento a la geometría encierra un propósito; la síntesis. Y decir síntesis es decir esencia. Es decir depuración”….
"insofar as"?

: The interpretation of the ST is OK, but we wouldn't use 'any' in (British) English.

bueno, hay otras opciones y los demás apoyan "any" igualmente.

: I disagree with Jennifer Levey's comment. There is no space here for me to include the whole definition of "any", but here is the link. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/any. See sense 3. "...Synonyms: whichever, every..."

all those (lines)
... de cuanta línea no juegue un rol categórico.
--> (+/-)
... all those lines that serve no indispensable purpose.

Note added at 2 hrs (2023-02-09 23:28:43 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
Clarification: I put (+/-) because I'm not sure about the translation of categórico in this context, and in the firm belief that OGV's 'categorical' is a false friend. But that is not the subject of Asker's question.
