It uses Tensor in the computer-sciencey-we-abuse-terms sense of "a multidimensional matrix", not in the physics sense. It could be called multidimensionalmatrixflow, but I'm glad I don't have to type that on a daily basis. :)



Doesn't the word 'tensor' "abuse" the terminology in exactly the same way as 'matrix' does?

Sure, you can be mathy and insist that these are all abstract things and transformations between them, but meanwhile CS people will keep calling arrays "vectors", "matrices", and "tensors".
