```yh
external thing tensorView
```

- text label: Stores label as text.

- tensorPlacement placement: Stores placement as tensorPlacement.
- int offset: Stores offset as int.
- tensorView(text label, tensorShape shape, tensorPlacement placement): Tensor view.
- SetOffset(int offset): Set offset.
- ValidationIssue() returns text: Validation issue.
- Validate() returns bool: Validate.
- ValidateOrThrow(): Validate or throw.
- Rank() returns int: Rank.
- ElementCount() returns int: Element count.
- IsContiguous() returns bool: Is contiguous.
- SliceAxis(int axis, int start, int length) returns tensorView: Slice axis.
- Transpose(list of int axisOrder) returns tensorView: Transpose.
- Describe() returns text: Describe.

## Use tensorView

A complete small caller. Values are illustrative; check the returned result and package requirements before connecting live resources.

Verification: type checked

```yh
using compute.tensor

// Represent tensor shapes, layouts, and numerical storage contracts.
tensorView sample = tensorView("Player health", tensorShape("element Type", []), tensorPlacement("device", "memory"))
Console.Log(Text.From(sample.label))

```

Save this beside start.yh as project.mech:

```toml
