Defactoring terminology proposal: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

Several problems with the term "saturation" may be identified:

# It does not have any obvious musical or mathematical meaning in this context~~, while defactoring and enfactoring clearly refer to the common factor found in linear combinations of matrix rows or columns~~.

# It does not have any obvious musical or mathematical meaning in this context.

# It has another unrelated meaning within xenharmonics that it would conflict with: https://en.xen.wiki/w/Anomalous_saturated_suspension

# To "saturate" in everyday use means to ''add'' to something, whereas in this mathematical sense it means to ''remove'' something, which can be very confusing. We suggest an effective way to look at it is that saturating is accomplished not by adding more information into the container but rather by shrinking the container itself so that it has no wasted capacity, and thereby attains a saturated state, but still feel that this is a bit of a stretch.
