-== Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse ==
+== Formulas vs. intuition ==
+Put intuition first, formulas second. This is exactly the problem with the page that I wanted to fix by adding the intuition in the first place, and you've just brought it back.
-Rule of thumb: everything in ANY of these mathematical theory pages should be calculatable using some kind of formula. Most people are here for "put interval and temperament in, get TE seminorm out", especially if they're coming here from pages like [[hobbit]] that mention it. That means **no Moore-Penrose pseudoinverses.**

+: The wiki can have tutorials but isn't a tutorial to begin with. —[[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 09:52, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
+:: I'm not asking for tutorials. I'm asking for THE INTUITION TO BE PUT FIRST. I don't want to wade through mathslop to get to the actual relevant explanations.
+:: Especially if people are coming here from pages like [[hobbit]]. You don't call something "Euclidean" and not put the geometric intuition first.

+::: I was saying interpretation-first is more of a writing style of textbooks/tutorials, which this wiki is not. —[[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 13:14, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
+:::: Well, maybe we need to rethink what the wiki should be. -- [[User:VectorGraphics|VectorGraphics]] ([[User talk:VectorGraphics|talk]]) 21:05, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
