This is the only case in quantum prhysics where the (real part of the) Hilbert space C3 coincides with our own Euclidean space. We can play a game with the ρ-meson: We ask: ‘Is your spin zero in this direction?’ It answers by saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’. A coordinate frame now becomes a set of three mutually exclusive propositions!
