    Right, sort of my vague understanding as well although it’s been 15 years since my university math courses. My point was more that “1 is a scalar while i is a vector” just didn’t seem correct to me, at least on a general level

      ah true. i missed the context of the original comment since it got deleted, but you’re completely right that the “1 is a scalar while i is a vector” statement is not entirely accurate.
