To approach from another angle...

Tensors are generalizations of scalars (that have no indices), vectors (that have exactly one index), and matrices (that have exactly two indices) to an arbitrary number of indices.

Avengers Endgame is just a stream of numbers

Excuse me, but a tensor is actually a blob of numbers which extends the concept of a matrix to a generic sequence and stride data structure.

You really did a number on this one

A tensor is one that transforms like a tensor 🤯

Can you all keep it down! You’re mathing too loudly for this time of night. Some of us have to get up early(ish).

You're quite a number

But a grid can just be a number with a list of numbers. A tensor is just two numbers with a list of numbers. A n-tensor is just two lists of numbers. Two lists can be combined with a number to indicate when they split. If we put that number at the start of the list, then we just have a list.

Everything is just a list of numbers.

I am THE NUMBER

A scalar is just a 0th order tensor

a tensor is just an element of a tensor product. and a tensor product is just a way to multiply algebraic structures

A number is just a type of vector

A tensor is a special box of numbers that doesn't change under coordinate transformation.

A Pi is just an endless string of numbers.

And this is the reason why no one knows what a tensor is. (This also completely blows up in your face as soon as you have infinite dimensions)

These collections also happen to follow a few specific geometric rules.

Math is just syntax.

I mean... it also has to be linear too, but sure okay ☺️

Overly simplified math meme is bad. Take it down
