Description: Conjugate law for inner
product. Postulate (S1) of [Beran] p. 95. Note
that   is the complex conjugate cjval 13842 of . In the
literature, the inner product of and is usually written
   , but our operation notation co 6650 allows us to use
existing theorems about operations and also avoids a clash with the
definition of an ordered pair df-op 4184. Physicists use   ,
called Dirac bra-ket notation, to represent this operation; see comments
in df-bra 28709. (Contributed by NM, 29-Jul-1999.)
