Concepts Overview

This section introduces the conceptual foundations of the QSP ecosystem. These pages are intended for engineers and researchers who want to understand the why behind the design decisions, not just the how.

What you will find here

• Orientation, Phase, and Polarization — Why quaternions are a natural fit for signals with geometric structure
• Architectural Model — How the QSP package family is organized and why

A note on scope

These pages describe the engineering rationale for the QSP ecosystem. They do not attempt to provide exhaustive mathematical derivations or performance benchmarks. The goal is to give a working engineer enough context to understand why the packages are structured as they are and how to use them effectively.

If you are ready to get into the code, start with Getting Started and the Package pages.
