INPUT:
- - basis -- a tuple of basis elements in "matrix form," which
- must be the same form as the arguments to ``jordan_product``
- and ``inner_product``. In reality, "matrix form" can be either
- vectors, matrices, or a Cartesian product (ordered tuple)
- of vectors or matrices. All of these would ideally be vector
- spaces in sage with no special-casing needed; but in reality
- we turn vectors into column-matrices and Cartesian products
- `(a,b)` into column matrices `(a,b)^{T}` after converting
- `a` and `b` themselves.
-
- - jordan_product -- function of two ``basis`` elements (in
- matrix form) that returns their jordan product, also in matrix
- form; this will be applied to ``basis`` to compute a
- multiplication table for the algebra.
-
- - inner_product -- function of two ``basis`` elements (in matrix
- form) that returns their inner product. This will be applied
- to ``basis`` to compute an inner-product table (basically a
- matrix) for this algebra.
+ - ``basis`` -- a tuple; a tuple of basis elements in "matrix
+ form," which must be the same form as the arguments to
+ ``jordan_product`` and ``inner_product``. In reality, "matrix
+ form" can be either vectors, matrices, or a Cartesian product
+ (ordered tuple) of vectors or matrices. All of these would
+ ideally be vector spaces in sage with no special-casing
+ needed; but in reality we turn vectors into column-matrices
+ and Cartesian products `(a,b)` into column matrices
+ `(a,b)^{T}` after converting `a` and `b` themselves.

+ - ``jordan_product`` -- a function; afunction of two ``basis``
+ elements (in matrix form) that returns their jordan product,
+ also in matrix form; this will be applied to ``basis`` to
+ compute a multiplication table for the algebra.
+
+ - ``inner_product`` -- a function; a function of two ``basis``
+ elements (in matrix form) that returns their inner
+ product. This will be applied to ``basis`` to compute an
+ inner-product table (basically a matrix) for this algebra.
+
+ - ``field`` -- a subfield of the reals (default: ``AA``); the scalar
+ field for the algebra.
+
+ - ``orthonormalize`` -- boolean (default: ``True``); whether or
+ not to orthonormalize the basis. Doing so is expensive and
+ generally rules out using the rationals as your ``field``, but
+ is required for spectral decompositions.
