Given a k-multival U and an (n-k)-multival V, where n is the dimension (the number of coeifficients, or length) of the vals, then U∧V is an n-multival. But the space of n-multivals is one-dimensional; if e2, e3, ..., ep is the standard basis of prime vals, then e2∧e3∧...∧ep is the sole basis vector for n-multivals. Hence it can be identified as a single scalar quantity. Given that identification, the dual Vº of V is simply the k-multimonzo which has the property that &lt;U|Vº&gt; = U∧V for every k-multival U.
