Question on style

I suspect the p in Tp should be subscript. FloraC (talk) 07:38, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Can you explain why you think it should? I'm not familiar with the concept. Until now, I wasn't even aware that this article existed. --Xenwolf (talk) 07:49, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
From my perspective, the "T" is a math symbol for the vector variable called the tuning map. The "p" is a scalar variable that may be substituted for by numbers such as 1 or 2, and it describes "T", so it should be italic and subscript.
