ortogonaalseks

Ortogonaalseks is a term of Lithuanian origin that translates to "orthogonal" in English. In mathematics and physics, orthogonality refers to the property of being at right angles or perpendicular. Two vectors are considered orthogonal if their dot product is zero. This concept extends to lines, planes, and other geometric objects. In a more abstract sense, orthogonality can describe elements or functions that are independent or uncorrelated. For instance, in signal processing, orthogonal functions can be used to represent complex signals as a sum of simpler, independent components. The term "ortogonaalseks" is therefore a direct linguistic equivalent used within the Lithuanian language to convey this fundamental geometric and mathematical principle. Its usage spans across various scientific and technical disciplines where the concept of perpendicularity or independence is crucial.
