Extract

In this system vectors are regarded as translators only. A special operator, R, transforms them into rotors. A second application of the operator retransforms rotors into translators. The system is essentially Hamilton's, with the removal of the restriction that vectors shall act as translators in addition, and as rotors in multiplication.
