+% First declare my ``perp in a circle'' operator, which is meant to be
+% like an \obot or an \operp except has the correct weight circle. It's
+% achieved by overlaying an \ocircle with a \perp, but only after we
+% clip off the top half of the \perp sign and shift it up.

+% Now declare an orthogonal direct sum in terms of \oplusperp.
