Derivation from coordinate system Application Object

A Derivation_from_coordinate_system is a relationship between:

• a reference Scale for a position Property_space that defines a coordinate system; and
• a derived Scale for a vector or tensor Property_space,

that indicates the components of the derived Scale correspond to the components of the reference Scale.

EXAMPLE - The relationship between:

• the position Scale that defines 'my coordinate system'; and
• the elasticity Scale that is with respect to my coordinate system,

that indicates the component of the elasiticity Scale correspond to components of the position Scale, is a Derivation_from_coordinate_system.

Attribute definitions:

derived: the Scale for a vector or tensor Property_space that uses the reference for each component.

reference: the Scale for a position Property_space that defines the coordinate system used by the derived.
