Apparently I'm not allowed to edit this page. I don't really mind, because you don't want me messing with math, but it means I have to ask instead of just doing: Could we add a link to the monzos page? I recommend wording at the top that says something like this:  


This page gives the formal mathematical definition of a monzo. For a simpler explanation with examples, visit the &lt;link&gt;monzos page&lt;/link&gt;.

I added this sentence at the top. I also set the page permission to <em>default</em>, so improve whatever you want. BTW: I'm also scared (at least confused) by these math-slang pages. I love mathematics when I understand it, but since I did not study it, its language is often a problem.

I also changed the redirect <strong>monzo</strong> to the page <strong>monzos</strong>, the original redirect target will be linked on top of the monzos page.

non-uniqueness

"It should be noted that while monzos correspond uniquely to positive real numbers (always rational numbers in the case of monzos), vectors in Tenney space do not. For instance, while [1 0⟩ represents 2, so does [0 log3(2)⟩."

Why is this, and why is it important? --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 16:24, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

It probably tries to say that log3(2), when in the place of Tenney-weighted 3, translates to the ratio of 2/1. I don't think that makes much practical sense tho. FloraC (talk) 18:21, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
