Kata is also a direction of the fourth spatial dimension, the counterpart of ana. This usage comes from the Greek word meaning 'down'http://tetraspace.alkaline.org/glossary.htm. The ana-kata vector is an equivalent of the three-dimensional vectors (forward-backward, left-right and up-down), but trying to describe it in 3d is like describing up in terms of left and right.
