Life when a vector is a breakfast cereal
Life when vector is

Life when vector is
Oops, all pseudovectors
A computer-generated image as a representation of a mathematical formula rather than a collection of pixels.
It's only an image if you look at it.
Come to think of it, why are arrays in R called vectors?
And don't tell me it's because thats what they're called in S
Probably because it's what they're called in C++.
I assume because it all does tie back to math terms. There is a lot of computer science in which arrays/lists are used for vector arithmetic (graphics, ML, generic math). I suspect only later in the field did arrays mutate into generic lists that you see in R and Python.
life when space is Ω and boundary is dΩ (or S, ds) or all space is abstraction of a hilbert space of dimension n
Life when "a Vector is Victor & his dog, Yondo"
Squid gun! Oh, yeah!
Life when a Vector is a cool crocodile wearing headphones.
Life when "a vector is just the values in a register where you can do an operation on all of the values at once".
life when vectors dont work as expected near light speed
Give me a vector victor
After the clearance, Clarence.
