Tetradic

Tetradics transform Dyadics in much the same way that Dyadics transform Vectors. They are represented using Hebrew characters and have 81 components (Morse and Feshbach 1953, pp. 72-73). The use of tetradics is archaic, since Tensors perform the same function but are notationally simpler.
