Well, crotchety is OK with me, though there should be some content to
go along with it.
e(i) X e(i+1) = e(i+3)
is a bizzarre way of putting it, and makes me wonder what on earth is
this thing doing in electromagnetics? Shouldn't we find that
electromagnetic phenomena are a part of a more universal principle?
Wouldn't this be cause for a general dimensional solution? Yet it does
not come along this way. Somehow the lack of generality of the cross
product makes it a sore point for physics. I suppose it is better to
be impressed than depressed, though the buttons on my keyboard don't
seem to give a damn, and they are operating under electromagnetic
principles regularly, even when repressed. This trilogy must not be
offended and I fear that another one is coming on, but if in the
expansion the multiplicity rises to arbitrary qualities, well, it's
really not for me to say here. Having staked my incoherency down I
submit to your 7D cross product, all the while wondering what happened
to the three? It is still there, but it is pressed so far as to have
lost its original detent within the cryptic nature of its meanderings.
To wander so far can hardly be considered an arrival, yet it is a
fascinating place.
Thanks Frederick for maintaining your own coherency, while I have
sacrificed some of mine, preferably for your entertainment.
