| Viewed within a coordinate representation, spaces of type '''B'''<sup>''n''</sup> and '''D'''<sup>''n''</sup> may appear to be identical sets of binary vectors, but taking a view at this level of abstraction would be like ignoring the qualitative units and the diverse dimensions that distinguish position and momentum, or the different roles of quantity and impulse. | | Viewed within a coordinate representation, spaces of type '''B'''<sup>''n''</sup> and '''D'''<sup>''n''</sup> may appear to be identical sets of binary vectors, but taking a view at this level of abstraction would be like ignoring the qualitative units and the diverse dimensions that distinguish position and momentum, or the different roles of quantity and impulse. |
