In physics and other sciences “trivial” also refers to solutions that are technically correct but uninteresting (like x=0 for many equations) or cases where the result is so straightforwad that it doesn’t need explanation to experts in the feild.
In physics, two terms that I often seem to notice together are “trivial” and “local”. Local is easy to define clearly: within the speed of light/causality. Trivial seems like a vaguer term.
