The '''Tenney–Euclidean temperament measures''' ('''TE temperament measures''') consist of TE complexity, TE error, and TE simple badness. These are evaluations of a temperament's [[complexity]], [[error]], and [[badness]], respectively, and they follow the identity | The '''Tenney–Euclidean temperament measures''' ('''TE temperament measures''') consist of TE complexity, TE error, and TE simple badness.

Given a [[wedgie]] ''M'', that is a canonically reduced ''r''-val correspondng to a temperament of rank ''r'', the norm ‖''M''‖ is a measure of the complexity of ''M''; that is, how many notes in some sort of weighted average it takes to get to intervals. For 1-vals, for instance, it is approximately equal to the number of scale steps it takes to reach an octave. | Given a [[wedgie]] ''M'', that is a canonically reduced ''r''-val correspondng to a temperament of rank ''r'', the norm ‖''M''‖ is a measure of the complexity of ''M''; that is, how many notes in some sort of weighted average it takes to get to intervals.
