Cross product not vector
Cross product - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In general dimension, there is no direct analogue of the binary cross product that yields specifically a vector. There is however the wedge product, which has similar properties, except that the wedge product of two vectors is now a 2-vector instead of an ordinary vector. As mentioned above, the cross product can be interpreted as the wedge product in three dimensions after using Hodge duality to map 2-vectors to vectors."

Style Guide - Acronyms
Style Guide - Acronyms: "As a general rule, spell out all acronyms on first use, but don't use initial capitals just because the letters form the acronym. There must be another reason for the caps, for example, the words constitute a proper noun. In other words, CAD is computer-aided design, not Computer-Aided Design.

Transforming the axes once again using Faraday's

Mal Webb | ブログ: "I was recently singing scales and wanted one syllable names for all the scale degrees (without doing Solfege (Do Re Mi), which is kind of overcomplicated and inconsistent), so I shortened Seven to Sen and named the "black" notes to fit between the white numbers, thus: One, Woo, Two, Tee, Three, Four, Far, Five, Fix, Six, Sin, Sen. Simple! What's more, "Far" is as far from one as you can get and "Sin" is the note that defines jazz.... how appropriate!
