Suppose A = <0 A₃ A₅ A₇ ... Ap| is the generator mapping val for a rank two temperament with P periods to the octave, and B = <0 B₃ B₅ B₇ ... Bp| is the same val in weighted coordinates. For instance, <0 1 -2 -2| is the generator mapping val for seven limit [[pajara]], and <0 1/log2(3) -2/log2(5) -2/log2(7)| ≅ <0 0.631 -0.831 -0.712| is the val in weighted coordinates. For any vector V, let max(V) - min(V) = span(V). The //generator complexity// of the temperament is P span(B). In the case of pajara, which has two periods to the octave, this would be 2*(0.631 - (-0.861)) = 2.984. This can also be described in terms of the wedgie W of the temperament, as span(2∨W), which is the span of 0 followed by the first n-1 elements of W, where n is the number of primes in the p-limit. | Suppose A = <0 A₃ A₅ A₇ ...
