The difference between a matrix and a 2d array of numbers is the operations that are performed

A tensor really isn't standardized in the same way so it's basically just an n-d array in my mind

It's all just pointers with semantics attached.

Vectors with strides.

You can force a 2D array to be a matrix if you're clever enough

Well, it would still be a vector. So some standardisation.
