Numerical errors will gradually reduce the orthogonality conditions expressed by equation 5
to approximations rather than identities. In effect, the axes in the two frames of reference no
longer describe a rigid body. Fortunately, numerical error accumulates very slowly, so it is a
simple matter to stay ahead of it.
We call the process of enforcing the orthogonality conditions ÒrenormalizationÓ.
