To the extent that you can approximate and accelerate graph algorithms with vectors, then fine, but vectors are not the fundamental space. One interesting aspect of Coecke&amp;#x27;s work is the reuse of Hilbert spaces and mathematical formalism from quantum mechanics. In fact, the most fascinating papers on his site are the ones where he simplifies and visualizes QM intuition based on monoidal…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/quant-ph_0402205/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
