Matrix-vector multiplication is reframed as scaling the transformed basis vectors (which are the columns of the matrix) by the input vector's components and summing them. This constructs the final position within the skewed coordinate system defined by the matrix, rather than just following a tedious arithmetic recipe.
Conditions: Input and output coordinates use the fixed standard basis.; The matrix represents an active linear map moving vectors.
