	A '''comma basis''' is a [[basis]] for the [[wikipedia: Kernel (linear algebra)\|nullspace]] (sometimes also called the "kernel") of a [[regular temperament\|temperament]]. It consists of <math>n</math> [[wikipedia: Linear independence\|linearly independent]] vectors, where <math>n</math> is the [[nullity]], each one representing a [[comma]] that is made to [[vanish]].
