       | If you're not familiar with tensors, where a matrix is a two-
       | dimensional array of numbers, a tensor is an n-dimensional array.

       | Why this idea is not radical: ever hear of Tensorflow (one of the
       | most popular AI libraries)? Or Google Tensor, which is a TPU
       | (tensor processing unit)? Or Nvidia Tensor cores?
       | 
       | Computer scientists are already well aware of tensors and make
       | extensive use of them, when it makes sense to do so.
