'''JIP''' ('''just intonation point'''), or commonly denoted "J", is a point in ''p''-limit [[Vals and tuning space|tuning space]] which represents pure ''p''-limit JI. Specifically, it is equal to {{val|log<sub>2</sub>2 log<sub>2</sub>3 log<sub>2</sub>5 … log<sub>2</sub>''p''}}. If M is a monzo, then &lt;J|M&gt; is M evaluated in terms of octaves. If we shift to weighted coordinates, so that M = {{monzo|''m''<sub>2</sub> ''m''<sub>3</sub> ''m''<sub>5</sub> … ''m''<sub>''p''</sub>}} is represented by the ket vector {{monzo|e<sub>2</sub>log<sub>2</sub>2 e<sub>3</sub>log<sub>2</sub>3 e<sub>5</sub>log<sub>2</sub>5 … e<sub>''p''</sub>log<sub>2</sub>''p''}}, then J becomes correspondingly the bra vector {{val|1 1 1 … 1}}.

As seen in the 5-limit [[projective tuning space]] diagram, it is the red hexagram in the center.
