I associate 'orthogonal' with CPU instruction sets: the ability to combine any instruction with any register (and adressing mode).



Sure, in that case the vectors are instructions and registers. So if you change from using instruction p to instruction p' it doesn't change the register you're using.


Well, it's a vector math term.
