Like.
A nice thing about geometric algebra is that there is no such thing as "the right hand rule." The sign comes about naturally. An... -

Love.
Have you read Chapters 3 and 4 of Misner, Thorne, & Wheeler? That's where I first encountered the material that's briefly summarized in... -
When discussing isometric embeddings, there is a little more to it. The metric of the submanifold is taken to be induced from the...

Then you can't get single outcomes. Yes, but using a "reduced state" at all already assumes that you have a single outcome--without...
