         CHARGELESS MASS SYSTEM VECTOR           This
        type of vector actually is the essential vector of mechanics, involving
        mass-motion (momentum), force (mass-motion change), etc.  The
        fundamental difference between this type of vector and the geometer's
        vector is the presence of smeared mass existing in time (i.e.,
        mass-time), welded together with a geometer's vector, but with no seam
        in the middle, into a new kind of "vector" AS A SYSTEM. 
        The vector is the SYSTEM EXISTING IN TIME .
