Most certainly not. Read any or all of the following:
Margenau & Murphy section 4.1 page 137
Riley page 70
Oxford Dictionary of Mathematics page 43, under the heading
"components of a vector"
You still do not realise that this misunderstanding of yours about the
nature of vector quantities is what is actually at your failure to get
to grips with deducing the Lorentz transformation correctly, about
which you have been lampooned for quite a few years now. It is this
misunderstanding which apparently makes it difficult for you to
understand the difference between a one dimensional vector and an
algebraic number, as I have pointed out unsuccessfully more than a
dozen times in the past.
Thank you for bringing this lacuna on your part into the open quite as
cleanly as you have now done.
