🎬Visualize the outer product and contraction operations on tensors
The demo effectively visualizes that tensor operations, like the outer product and contraction, fundamentally change a tensor's rank, revealing how two 1D vectors can combine to form a 2D matrix, and how that matrix can then be reduced to a single scalar, illustrating that tensors are not merely arrays of numbers but objects whose properties are defined by these transformative operations.
