We may be looking at a temperament representation which itself does not consist of a single vector, but its dual does. For example, the meantone mapping {{ket|{{map|1 0 -4}} {{map|0 1 4}}}} and the porcupine mapping {{ket|{{map|1 2 3}} {{map|0 3 5}}}} each consist of two vectors. So these representations cannot be summed or differenced using simple entry-wise addition or subtraction. But their duals can! If we simply find a comma basis for each of these mappings, we get {{bra|{{vector|4 -4 1}}}} and {{bra|{{vector|1 -5 3}}}}. In this form, the temperaments can be entry-wise added, to {{bra|{{vector|5 -9 4}}}} as we saw earlier. And if in the end we're still after a mapping, since we started with mappings, we can take the dual of this comma basis, to find the mapping {{ket|{{map|1 1 1}} {{map|0 4 9}}}}.
