If $$e^1$$ is a form like the ones in tetrad formalism (vielbeins). If we have $$e^1 . e^1$$ can we treat those as basis like $$i.i=1$$?

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the concept of treating the product $$e^1.e^1$$ as a basis in the context of tetrad formalism, similar to how $$i.i=1$$ is treated in complex numbers. Participants noted that the ambiguity in the question may have hindered responses, indicating a need for clearer definitions and context regarding the use of vielbeins in this mathematical framework.
