:::: It appears to be some kind of matrix thing called a "multival" that represents a temperament. Most people on the Discord agree that they are effectively useless, hence I have been working on largely removing them from the wiki as part of [[User:VectorGraphics/Operation_Loosen_Underpants|Operation Loosen Underpants]]. Check [[Plucker coordinates]] for Sintel's explanation. -- [[User:VectorGraphics|VectorGraphics]] ([[User talk:VectorGraphics|talk]]) 05:54, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

::: As you might know I've been the one to remove most references to exterior algebra on the wiki. I want to document the techniques properly though, since they're actually useful for people who want some deeper understanding. If by "retiring wedgies entirely" you mean removing them from the temperament sections, I agree. Also why is this on my user talk? If you have any comments specifically on [[Plücker coordinates]], please state them there for future reference.

::: @Lucius Chiaraviglio 'wedgies' are called 'Plücker coordinates' in the real world, they're a way to assign natural coordinates to matrices, which have some interesting geometrical properties that makes them useful. Too much to explain here, but I'll refer you to [[Plücker coordinates]] and [[Hodge dual]], which has some example computations. Let me know if there's any way I can make the content more accessible. – [[User:Sintel|Sintel🎏]] ([[User_talk:Sintel|talk]]) 11:44, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
