🎬the totally antisymmetric tensor in a flat two-dimensional space

The totally antisymmetric tensor ηab\eta^{ ab } in flat two-dimensional space geometrically implements the Hodge Dual operation. This is visually confirmed by demonstrating that the transformed vector field (Red, W=ηVW = \eta V ) is consistently maintained at a 909 0 ^{ \circ } clockwise rotation relative to the input vector field (Blue, V ), regardless of the input field's rotation or location. This illustrates how η\eta is used to establish duality relationships between vector spaces and their associated differential forms.
