pair of position vectors,
in which case the bound vector is almost equivalent to a pair of
points.
In other cases the "bound vector" is a pair of vectors of different
type, such as a point-of-application (which is a position vector)
Is a point in space really a position vector? In what sense does a
point in space have magnitude and direction? I can see that a position
vector can be usesful in specifing the location of a point in space
relative to some other point in space but I don't see the point itself
actually being that position vector.
