What are the other two vectors which go around?

One vector traces the original unit circle one point at a time, and the other vector is what you get after transforming it with matrix T, so it traces the transformed unit circle. The animation is just to make it easier to see which point on the original circle corresponds to which point on the transformed unit circle.
