Abstract
A deformational process - that is the joint transformation of volume, shape and structure of a continuum playing the role of an actual material - can be described as a transformation of a vector space. Using such description one may notice that there are some cases of homogeneous deformation the very existence of which is usually ignored. It is suggested here that the recognition of these additional cases is a prerequisite for a fully comprehensive consideration and interpretation of tectonic fabrics, and a constructive reassessment of basic concepts of continuum mechanics.
