[-empyre-] Vector

[Lichty, Patrick]

I was wondering whether your use of 'vector', then might not just bear a sense of direction (which way the flow and for what reasons - access, permissions and what form etc) but also a temporal dimension?

Oh, certainly.  It implies all aspects of the gesture of communication/transmission - from transmitter(s) to reciever(s), communities, through space, time, protocols - al of that.  The vector is a line of flight; it can travel many places, through many layers, even vary its speed and mode to alter its reationship with time. That is a very general statement that has to be in order to deal with a host of specific situations.
