Abstract: Starting with the general description of a moving curve, we have recently presented a unified formalism to show that three distinct space curve evolutions can be identified with a given integrable equation. Applying this to the nonlinear Schr"{o}dinger equation (NLS), we find three sets of coupled equations for the evolution of the curvature and the torsion, one set for each moving curve. The first set is given by the usual Da Rios-Betchov equations. The velocity at each point of the curve that corresponds to this set is well known to be a local expression in the curve variables. In contrast, the velocities of the other two curves are shown to be nonlocal expressions. Each of the three curves is endowed with a corresponding infinite set of geometric constraints. These moving space curves are found by using their connection with the integrable Landau- Lifshitz equation. The three evolving curves corresponding to the envelope soliton solution of the NLS are presented and their behaviors compared.
