vector
Representations of an interval
as a row (or column) of numbers is a vector.
Vector addition is a common operation.
In general an n-dimensional vector space
is a collection of elements that
can be represented by n numbers. Operations are addition and scalar
multiplication (multiplication with a single value). In the
'lattice'
context the dimensions are of course the relevant
primes and the vector
elements are the power indices [exponents].
