Assume an object rotates arbitrarily during some time (that is, not just along a single axis). At any given instant I would like know how much it rotated, so I could, for example, rotate it back to its original rotation with a spring (with torque proportional to the total angular displacement).
My question is, what representation should I use for the accumulated rotation, integrated over time from the angular displacements? Can such representation be "projected" on an arbitrary axis to answer "how many times did the object turn around this axis"?
