::: @Lucius Chiaraviglio 'wedgies' are called 'Plücker coordinates' in the real world, they're a way to assign natural coordinates to matrices, which have some interesting geometrical properties that makes them useful. Too much to explain here, but I'll refer you to [[Plücker coordinates]] and [[Hodge dual]], which has some example computations. Let me know if there's any way I can make the content more accessible. – [[User:Sintel|Sintel🎏]] ([[User_talk:Sintel|talk]]) 11:44, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

:::: I followed those links — still looks like an awful lot of stuff that requires some mathematics that I don't have. I guess I'll have to follow the lead of what seems to be the current direction on the Xenharmonic Wiki and just make do without. On the bright side, if I understand correctly, if I ever need to describe a temperament that isn't described on here, this removal will make the work a bit easier.

::::: It's not really worth your time right now unless you already have some math prerequisites. And yeah, just now they were removed from all temperament data, so you don't have to worry about it. – [[User:Sintel|Sintel🎏]] ([[User_talk:Sintel|talk]]) 10:16, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::: Since there's so much buzz about multimaps these days and I don't see anyone referencing the excellent resource Dave and I assembled a few years back, here it is, specifically the section where we attempt to give any reason to use them (this part was difficult, haha): https://en.xen.wiki/w/Dave_Keenan_%26_Douglas_Blumeyer%27s_guide_to_EA_for_RTT#Advantages_of_EA We basically just did this in an attempt to prove to the people who used them that we understood them well enough to show that nobody needed them. --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 14:30, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
