This is very off topic, but the wedge product absolutely is "meaningfully a product", generalizes fine to arbitrary dimension, and has a perfectly reasonable visual/spatial/geometric interpretation.

(Indeed, we should entirely scrap the cross product in undergraduate level technical instruction and replace it with the wedge product; one happy effect will be replacing students' misleading spatial intuitions with better ones.)
