“The world follows its own course,” he said. “Each possesses his own thoughts, each treads his own path. So it is with your mother, and so it is with your starling. As it is with everyone. The world follows its own course.”

It's straightforward to calculate the #components of a #2D #vector given that you have a pre-defined set of #axes. Often, we talk about #cartesian #coordinates. If the vector changes, whether in #magnitude or #direction, we can calculate the updated components too. The converse question is what if the the vector is held constant and you change or #rotate the axes? The components in the new coordinate system can be found with a little bit of #trigonometry and #algebra. As vectors are #first-order #tensors, they are much simpler to calculate than quantities like stress for which I've also made an animation for if you search for the hashtag #tensors.

In this animation, you can see the components changing as the axes go through a full rotation.

Au bout du couloir Ă  gauche..
C’est dit, c’est sûr, c’est évident,
Ça coule de source,
C’est là, au bout du couloir à gauche
Plus d’hésitation, de tergiversation
C’est clair et sans emphase,
Au bout du couloir Ă  gauche,
Une bienveillante direction,
Sans excessive explication,
Au bout du couloir Ă  gauche,
Tout s’éclaire, plus d’angoisse
Une promesse, un espoir..
Au bout du couloir Ă  gauche,
C’est beau comme du Verlaine
Comme une ritournelle sans façon,
Au bout du couloir Ă  gauche,
Si on arrive à l’atteindre,
Si on arrive jusque-lĂ ,
Au bout du couloir Ă  gauche.
Pour un instant pour un instant seulement…….

Cardinal Direction Painted on a Forest Log

I love this photograph of a Trail Blazer Sign.
It doesn’t indicate what direction you’re going. North, South, East or West. Perhaps it means to keep going ahead in whatever direction you’re traveling on the trail. For me, what I see is…the direction is “Up.”
I can only hope that all who see this are on a trail of happiness.

“Cardinal” comes from the early 14th century and was derived from the Latin cardinalis (“principal, chief, essential”)
