PART III: CLARIFYING THE VECTOR CONCEPT
(MECHANIC'S VECTOR)
Figure 2. Chargeless mass system vector.
CHARGELESS MASS SYSTEM VECTOR This
type of vector actually is the essential vector of mechanics, involving
mass-motion (momentum), force (mass-motion change), etc. The
fundamental difference between this type of vector and the geometer's
vector is the presence of smeared mass existing in time (i.e.,
mass-time), welded together with a geometer's vector, but with no seam
in the middle, into a new kind of "vector" AS A SYSTEM.
The vector is the SYSTEM EXISTING IN TIME .
