<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">The **Tenney norm**, also called **Tenney height**, is the norm such that for any monzo representing an interval a/b, the norm of the interval is log(a·b). For a full-limit monzo |a b c d ...>, this norm can be calculated as |log</span><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10px; vertical-align: sub;">2</span><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">(2)·a| + |log</span><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10px; vertical-align: sub;">2</span><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">(3)·b| + |log</span><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10px; vertical-align: sub;">2</span><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">(5)·c| + |log</span><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10px; vertical-align: sub;">2</span><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">(7)·d| + ... . This is a variant of the ordinary L1 norm where each coordinate is weighted in proportion to the log</span><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10px; vertical-align: sub;">2</span><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> of the prime that it represents. As we will soon see below, generalizations of the Tenney norm that correspond to other weighted Lp norms also exist; these we will call </span>**Tp norms**, with the Tenney norm being designated the **T1 norm**.</span>

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">In its full generality, the Tenney norm of any interval space can be expressed as follows:</span><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
\left \| \vec{v} \right \|_{\textbf{T1}} = \left \| \mathbf{W} \cdot \mathbf{V} \cdot \vec{v} \right \|_1

where **V** is a [[xenharmonic/Subgroup Mapping Matrices (V-maps)|V-map]] in which the columns are monzos express</span><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">For interval spaces corresponding to a group of monzos where the basis is set to consist of only primes or prime powers, the Tenney norm of any interval v can be represented by the expression</span><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">\left \| \vec{v} \right \|_{\textbf{T1}} = \left \| \mathbf{W} \cdot \vec{v} \right \|_1</span><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">where **W** is a diagonal "weighting matrix" such that the nth entry in the diagonal is the log<span style="font-size: 10px; vertical-align: sub;">2</span> of the interval represented by the nth coordinate of the monzo. For Tenney norms on these spaces, the unit sphere will look like the ordinary L1 unit sphere, but be dilated a different amount along each axis.</span>
