Here are several mnemonics for the use of <math>\textbf{y}</math> as the symbol for mapped intervals:
Here are several mnemonics for the use of <math>\textbf{y}</math> as the symbol for mapped intervals:
* The letter 'y' is linguistically similar to the letter 'i', the obvious letter for (just) intervals.  
* The letter "y" is linguistically similar to the letter "i", the obvious letter for (just) intervals.  
* Visually, a 'Y' also looks like a diagram showing — from the top — two just intervals getting mapped to the same size.
* Visually, a "Y" also looks like a diagram showing&mdash;from the top&mdash;wo just intervals getting mapped to the same size.
* A 'y' also looks like a 'g', which is fitting because <math>\mathbf{y}</math> is a generator-count vector, associated with the generator tuning map <math>𝒈</math>, in the sense that intervals are associated with (tempered-prime) tuning maps <math>𝒕</math>, or in other words, <math>𝒕\textbf{i} = 𝒈\textbf{y}</math>.
