Richard Feynman Lecture on Quantum Electrodynamics: QED. 7/8

Is he describing tensors when referring to the tied vectors? I am pretty new to tensors and it just seems like that's what's being described...

what he says is correct however in my opinion you cannot eat 60 fried eggs nor 6 deep fried eggs without secondary implications that suggest a nand gate which allows south americans in but keeps puerto ricans away from larger cities and/or (nor) this nor that so actually any answer is predictable from any angle except for possibly obtuse

@MightySaturn5 You've got a point, the man does speak like a drunken computer.

To answer your question, what Feyman is describing here is a very special case of the theory of abstract vector spaces applied to physics. There are many ways to view what he is talking about, but the simplest way is to make the analogy that he gives.

LMFAO...uh oh chit, I haven't told them about the boundary rule...hmm...should I just gloss over it? No! I'll tell you...uhh...well...its just another rule - trust me ;-)
