Two [[vals]] can be combined into a wedgie representing the rank-2 temperament they both support using the wedge product. For example, wedging ⟨5 8 12] and ⟨7 11 16] (the patent vals for 5edo and 7edo) yields ⟨⟨(5*11-8*7) (5*16-12*7) (8*16-12*11)]], which simplifies to ⟨⟨(55-56) (80-84) (128-132)]] and thus to ⟨⟨-1 -4 -4]], which is the wedgie for 5 & 7, a.k.a. meantone.
More than two vals can be combined into a higher-rank wedgie by an analogous method.
