The word vector is a quantity represented by a line with both direction and magnitude. In other words, anything that moves has vectors. Take an explosion for instance. The vectors of the explosion move up and outwards in all directions.

Vector Manipulation is different from what Diclonii have. Diclonii simply have telekinesis that has been compressed into arm-like appendages. They call those appendages "vectors". But that doesn't mean that they have Vector Manipulation.

At higher levels, Telekinesis can manipulate vectors. But at the basic levels that most shows have it at, it can't. So no, the description of the "vectors" is not literal.
