7 ** Tuples
|

8 - Tuples are a new data type: sequences with /spin/. A tuple can be either spin-up or spin-down.
|
|

|
9 - A pair of compatible tuples can be *contracted* into a single number.
|
|
rlm@2
|
10 - Tuples are compatible if they have the same length and opposite
|
|
rlm@2
|
11 spin, and if their corresponding pairs of items are either both
|
|
rlm@2
|
12 numbers or both compatible tuples.
|
|
rlm@2
|
13 - To contract tuples, take the sum of the products of corresponding
|
|
rlm@2
|
14 pairs of items. (To take the product of compatible tuples,
|
|
rlm@2
|
15 contract them.)

17 *Generic Arithmetic:* To multiply two tuples, check to see if they are
|
|
rlm@2
|
18 compatible. If they are, contract them. If they aren't, multiply each
|
|
rlm@2
|
19 item of the second tuple by the first tuple.

21 To multiply a tuple by a number, multiply each element of the tuple by
|
|
rlm@2
|
22 the number.
