Original Wikitext content:

=Definition:= 
A **height** is a function on members of an algebraically defined object which maps elements to real numbers, yielding a type of complexity measurement. For example we can assign each element of the positive rational numbers a height, and hence a complexity. While there is no consensus on the restrictions of a height, we will attempt to create a definition for positive rational numbers which is practical for musical purposes.

A height function H(q) on the positive rationals q should fulfill the following criteria:
# Given any constant C, there are finitely many elements q such that H(q) ≤ C.
# H(q) is bounded below by H(1), so that H(q) ≥ H(1) for all q.
# H(q) = H(1/q)
# H(q^n) ≥ H(q) for any non-negative integer n

If we have a function F(x) which is strictly increasing on the positive reals, then F(H(q)) will rank elements in the same order as H(q). We can therefore establish the following equivalence relation:
[[math]]
H \left( {q} \right) \equiv F \left( {H} \left( {q} \right) \right)
[[math]]

A **semi-height** is a function which does not obey criteria #1 above in the strictest sense, so that there is a rational number q ≠ 1 such that H(q) = H(1), resulting in an equivalence relation on its elements. An example would be octave-equivalence, where two ratios p and q are considered equivalent if the following is true:
[[math]]
2^{-v_2 \left( {p} \right)} p = 2^{-v_2 \left( {q} \right)} q
[[math]]

Or equivalently, if n has any integer solutions:
[[math]]
p = 2^n q
[[math]]

If the above condition is met, we may then establish the following equivalence relation:
[[math]]
p \equiv q
[[math]]

By changing the base of the exponent to a value other than 2, you can set up completely different equivalence relations. Replacing the 2 with a 3 yields tritave-equivalence, for example.

Height functions can also be put on the points of [[http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/QuasiProjectiveVariety.html|projective varieties]]. Since [[Abstract regular temperament|abstract regular temperaments]] can be identified with rational points on [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grassmannian|Grassmann varieties]], complexity measures of regular temperaments are also height functions.

 A <strong>height</strong> is a function on members of an algebraically defined object which maps elements to real numbers, yielding a type of complexity measurement. For example we can assign each element of the positive rational numbers a height, and hence a complexity. While there is no consensus on the restrictions of a height, we will attempt to create a definition for positive rational numbers which is practical for musical purposes.<br />
<br />
A height function H(q) on the positive rationals q should fulfill the following criteria:<br />
<ol><li>Given any constant C, there are finitely many elements q such that H(q) ≤ C.</li><li>H(q) is bounded below by H(1), so that H(q) ≥ H(1) for all q.</li><li>H(q) = H(1/q)</li><li>H(q^n) ≥ H(q) for any non-negative integer n</li></ol><br />
If we have a function F(x) which is strictly increasing on the positive reals, then F(H(q)) will rank elements in the same order as H(q). We can therefore establish the following equivalence relation:<br />
<!-- ws:start:WikiTextMathRule:0:
[[math]]&lt;br/&gt;
H \left( {q} \right) \equiv F \left( {H} \left( {q} \right) \right)&lt;br/&gt;[[math]]
 --><script type="math/tex">H \left( {q} \right) \equiv F \left( {H} \left( {q} \right) \right)</script><!-- ws:end:WikiTextMathRule:0 --><br />
<br />
A <strong>semi-height</strong> is a function which does not obey criteria #1 above in the strictest sense, so that there is a rational number q ≠ 1 such that H(q) = H(1), resulting in an equivalence relation on its elements. An example would be octave-equivalence, where two ratios p and q are considered equivalent if the following is true:<br />
<!-- ws:start:WikiTextMathRule:1:

2^{-v_2 \left( {p} \right)} p = 2^{-v_2 \left( {q} \right)} q&lt;br/&gt;[[math]]
 --><script type="math/tex">2^{-v_2 \left( {p} \right)} p = 2^{-v_2 \left( {q} \right)} q</script><!-- ws:end:WikiTextMathRule:1 --><br />
<br />
Or equivalently, if n has any integer solutions:<br />
<!-- ws:start:WikiTextMathRule:2:
[[math]]&lt;br/&gt;
p = 2^n q&lt;br/&gt;[[math]]
 --><script type="math/tex">p = 2^n q</script><!-- ws:end:WikiTextMathRule:2 --><br />
<br />
If the above condition is met, we may then establish the following equivalence relation:<br />
<!-- ws:start:WikiTextMathRule:3:
[[math]]&lt;br/&gt;
p \equiv q&lt;br/&gt;[[math]]
