All that punning is in the definition of A1 and B1 on page 121/135
(physical), and then
If A1 and B1 are both vectors, return f /A1 g B1 .
means that if the two rewritten arguments are both vectors, return a
scalar (apply g pairwise and then reduce by f).
And it seems that the rest of the definition says how to calculate the
elements of Z (named Q), after choosing the right vectors X (from A1)
and Y (from B1) and computing the scalar
Set Q to f /X g Y .
