Given a rank ''k'' temperament on a JI subgroup of dimension ''n'', the mapping M can be written as a <math>k \times n</math> matrix.
Given a rank ''k'' [[abstract temperament]] on a [[JI subgroup]] of dimension ''n'', the [[mapping]] M can be written as a <math>k \times n</math> matrix.
Writing the rows of this matrix as <math>v_1, \ldots, v_k</math>, the Plücker coordinates are <math>[v_1 \wedge \cdots \wedge v_k]</math>.
Writing the rows of this matrix as <math>v_1, \ldots, v_k</math>, the Plücker coordinates are <math>[v_1 \wedge \cdots \wedge v_k]</math>.
This matrix can also be though of as representing a ''k''-plane, spanned by the rows.
