The word vector implies a specific direction. In Intention Space, this direction is the progression of computation starting from the initial design chunk leading to the final design chunk in the vector through the intermediate intention->object->intention trio while transforming a set of question-answer to a resulting question-answer sets in the model of computation described below.

In Intention Space Design Chunks hold the traditional software codes. It is only  the interaction of the software code in a design chunk with the software code in another design chunk that Intention Space  facilitates. Intention Space brings about this interaction  through the  vectors defining the sequence of the three types of entities :Design Chunk, Intentions, Objects.
