It can be useful to define a notion of the "[[complexity]]" of an [[interval]], so that small-integer ratios such as 3/2 are less complex and intervals such as 32805/32768 are more complex. This can be accomplished for any {{w|free abelian group}} of ([[subgroup]]) [[Monzos and interval space|monzos]] by {{w|embedding}} the group in a {{w|normed vector space}}, so that the {{w|Norm (mathematics)|norm}} of any interval is taken to be its complexity. The monzos form a ℤ-module, with coordinates given by integers, and the vector space embedding can be constructed by simply allowing real coordinates, hence defining the module over ℝ instead of ℤ and giving it the structure of a vector space. The resulting space is called [[Monzos and interval space|interval space]], with the monzos forming the {{w|integer lattice}} of vectors with integer coordinates, but where we will allow any vector space norm on ℝ<sup>''n''</sup>.
