'''generators''' - A set of intervals that generate a larger set through linear combination. e.g. the primes {2, 3} generate the Pythogorean scale. | '''generators''' - A set of intervals that generate a larger set through linear combination. e.g. the primes {2, 3} generate the Pythogorean scale. | ||
'''temperament''' - A mapping from a just intonation to a set of intervals with fewer generators. expressible as a [[Intro_to_Mappings|mapping matrix]] whose columns are generators of the just intonation and whose rows are generators of the temperament. In particular, the row vectors are called [[Vals_and_Tuning_Space|vals]]. | '''temperament''' - A mapping from a [[just intonation subgroup]] to a set of intervals with fewer generators. expressible as a [[Intro_to_Mappings|mapping matrix]] whose columns are generators of the just intonation and whose rows are generators of the temperament.
