On three-dimensional rotations, coordinate frames, and canonical forms for it all
Article Abstract:
A method is developed for describing a preferential coordinate frame in a three-dimensional rotation matrix of 48 frames defined by three fixed, mutually orthogonal lines intersecting at 0. This process has applications where preferential spacial orientations or coordinate transformations for defining material parameters need to be expressed. Labeling of frames and development of equivalence classes of frames are described. An optimal frame algorithm for the canonical form is developed.

Woman and nature
Article Abstract:
Nature is often cast as female because people understand they are tied to the natural world as intimately as a child to its mother. Human imagination can approach photographic images playfully, attempting to shape forms as it wishes. Nature has ultimate power over humans, and the only way to begin understanding the natural world is to see ourselves as belonging to a vast and complex system.
