When we come to examine the concrete significance of the
’s, we find them to be expressive of the angles between our co-ordinate meshes, and of the general shape of our mesh-system from place to place. Since, however, the shape of our mesh-system, though arbitrary in large measure, is nevertheless restricted to certain types compatible with the structure of the space in which we trace them, these
’s are also representative of the structure or geometry of our space. For this reason they are called structural or fundamental tensors.
