Moving Frame - Moving Tangent Frames

Moving Tangent Frames

The most commonly encountered case of a moving frame is for the bundle of tangent frames (also called the frame bundle) of a manifold. In this case, a moving tangent frame on a manifold M consists of a collection of vector fields X1, X2, ..., Xn forming a basis of the tangent space at each point of an open set U ⊂ M.

    “The whole point about the true unconscious is that it is all the time moving forward, beyond the range of its own fixed laws or habits. It is no good trying to superimpose an ideal nature upon the unconscious.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “For laughter frames the lips of death—
