How should I solve this situation? If what you want is multiplying vectors, do you have any good/excellent/superior reasons for not using the standard built-in Mathematica function *Cross* [1]? (By redefining the dot product, or any other built-in functions, you have s very strong likelihood to broke your system.) "Cross[a, b] gives the vector cross product of a and b."
