Dyadics

Okay kiddo, let's talk about dyadics. A dyadic is like a special kind of mathematical tool that helps us describe things that have a direction, like a force or a velocity.

Imagine you have a toy car and you push it forward with your hand. The way you push it forward is like a direction, right? Well, we can use a dyadic to describe that direction in a mathematical way.

A dyadic has two parts, kind of like a pair of shoes. One part tells us which way we're going or what direction we're moving in, and the other part tells us how strong the force is or how fast we're moving.

So, for our toy car example, the first part of the dyadic could be the direction forward, and the second part could be how hard you're pushing the car.

Dyadics are really handy because they help us describe things that are a little tricky to explain with just regular numbers. They're like a secret code that helps us understand how things move and interact with each other.
