This means that a wedgie can easily be "clipped" by removing columns and corresponding rows to produce a restriction of the temperament, and thus wedgies which have a set of entries produced this way in common are strong extensions of some common structure. | \end{bmatrix}</math>.

== Relationship to vals == | |||
A val can be seen as a wedgie for a rank-1 temperament (in other words, an equal temperament). Due to being rank-1, there is an entry for each set of 1 prime (or in other words, each prime). This entry can be seen as saying how many parts the prime is split into, which is trivially the number of steps in the ET to reach the prime; in other words, it is the number of "universes" separated by that prime (or more intuitively, pitch classes reduced by that prime) that are reachable by steps in the ET. | |||
Due to this relation, a wedgie is called a ''multival''. | |||
