The terms "[[Wikipedia:Image_(mathematics)|image]]" and "[https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Preimage.html preimage]" come from general mathematics where they are used regarding mathematical functions and their inputs (their domain) and outputs (their range). They are used in the same sense in regular temperament theory; in our application, [[mappings]] are the functions, intervals are the inputs, and mapped intervals are the outputs.
