Given a [[wedgie]] ''M'', that is a canonically reduced ''r''-val correspondng to a temperament of rank ''r'', the norm ‖''M''‖ is a measure of the complexity of ''M''; that is, how many notes in some sort of weighted average it takes to get to intervals. For 1-vals, for instance, it is approximately equal to the number of scale steps it takes to reach an octave.
