👉 In mathematics, the term "lectisternium" is used to denote a set of elements that are linearly independent. This means that there exist vectors in this set such that their dot product with every vector in the set vanishes. For example, consider the set {1, 2, 3} of numbers. The vectors (1, 0), (0, 1), and (1, 1) are linearly independent because their dot products with any other vector
