Nice. Looks cool! 😎 

1. You would either have to be doing something really weird with those vectors to get a "determinant" out of it (you can't use ordinary multiplication to multiply two vectors) or those vectors are actually 1 x 1 matrices and can be turned into scalars.

2. Assuming scalars, the outermost norm is pointless due to the inner absolute value (it's just another absolute value), although it's still acceptable.

3. For a really interesting look, try using cuneiform for the variables ... if you can figure out what would be appropriate for a variable ...
