+Anybody can read this article in its current shape and learn how to derive the TE tuning, TE generators, etc.? I can't. I learned it by coming up with the idea of RMS-error tuning myself, posting it on reddit and get told that was actually called TE tuning.

 That said, TE tuning is an easy problem if you break it down this way.

 It's a least squares problem of the following linear equations:
-<math>(AW)^\mathsf{T} \vec{g} = W\vec{p}</math>
+<math>(VW)^\mathsf{T} \vec{g} = W\vec{p}</math>
-where A is the known mapping of the temperament, '''g''' the column vector of each generators in cents, '''p''' the column vector of targeted intervals in cents, usually prime harmonics, and W the weighting matrix.
+where ''V'' is the known mapping of the temperament, '''g''' the column vector of each generators in cents, '''p''' the column vector of targeted intervals in cents, usually prime harmonics, and ''W'' the weighting matrix.
-This is an overdetermined system saying that the sum of (AW)<sup>T</sup><sub>''ij''</sub> steps of generator '''g'''<sub>''j''</sub> for all ''j'' equals the corresponding interval (W'''p''')<sub>''i''</sub>.

 The only thing that matters is to identify the problem as a least square problem. The rest is nothing but manual labor.
