Tor functors: a basic explanation?

Question

Could anyone give a basic explanation about Tor functors and, particularly, any idea about how they might be useful for the description of natural language?

Answer 1

I am providing some evidence of the use of vectors in linguistic analysis, which might be a necessary assumption for the usage of tensors and then Tor-functors, as some user pointed out.
