The creative force of existence is not sheer on - rushing energy It has a character, a shape, a moment - to -
moment vectorial direction of each pulse of becoming, even if it lacks overall direction as a whole: «The many become one, and are increased by one» (Whitehead, Process 21).
«But there is no reason to force them to
grasp vectorial angles and discontinuous functions.
Other mosquito species can transmit Dirofilaria immitis, the nematode that produces heartworm disease; however, A. notoscriptus has the
highest vectorial capacity and tends to have the highest rates of dog heartworm in the field.
«Of course, the language is still made of
vectorial images,» the artist explains, «but I no longer archive them.»
While the former emanate a massive, voluminous presence, the latter seem more
like vectorial intersections, markers that are pointing the way, plotting the three - dimensional space.
The vectorial quality, for example, is in tension with the quality of conformality.
And due to
the vectorial quality, the conformal element of «joy» will be felt as derived from elsewhere.
The significance of
the vectorial quality of physical feeling is that it gives the objective sense of others as entering into our experience.
In more unsophisticated occasions this even applies to
the vectorial transmission of blind emotion.
Wind, for instance, is
a vectorial quantity, because at any given location it has a direction (such as northeast) and a magnitude (say, 45 kilometers per hour).
The billiard ball's momentum is also
a vectorial quantity, because momentum is equal to mass times velocity.
Chapters 1 and 2 treat the propagation of light waves, including the concepts of phase and group velocities, and
the vectorial nature of light.
