Grassmann bundle

A Grassmann bundle is like a special kind of present that has lots of different kinds of toys inside, and each toy is a different size and shape.

Imagine you have a big toy box with lots of different toys inside. If you wanted to organize the toys by size, you might put all the small toys in one pile, all the medium toys in another pile, and all the large toys in another pile.

In math, we use something called vectors to represent these toys in different sizes and shapes. But sometimes we want to organize these vectors in a different way, like by their orientation or direction. This is where the Grassmann bundle comes in.

The Grassmann bundle is like a special container that holds all the different kinds of vectors that have the same orientation or direction. It's like having a separate box for all the toys that are shaped like animals, and another box for all the toys that are shaped like cars.

The Grassmann bundle is important because it allows us to study certain mathematical properties of these vectors when they are organized by orientation or direction, instead of just by size. It helps us better understand how they behave and interact with each other in different situations.
