If you haven't seen monzos or vals before and are totally confused, please read the pages on [[xenharmonic/Monzos|Monzos]] and [[xenharmonic/Vals|Vals]] first!

If you have, then to review, a **monzo** is a way to represent a JI interval that shows how it decomposes into a combination of simpler, "prime" intervals. It does so by directly representing an interval's prime factorization. A 5-limit monzo looks like [[media type="custom" key="15537816"]], where a b c are the exponents for primes 2, 3, and 5, respectively. A 7-limit JI monzo looks like [[media type="custom" key="15537820"]], where d represents the additional exponent for 7. The 11-limit gets you another coefficient and so on.

It does so by directly representing an interval's prime factorization. A 5-limit monzo looks like [[media type="custom" key="15537816"]], where \(a\) b c are the exponents for primes 2, 3, and 5, respectively. A 7-limit JI monzo looks like [[media type="custom" key="15537820"]], where d represents the additional exponent for 7. The 11-limit gets you another coefficient and so on.


Assuming you understand that, then we've reached our first new idea, which will help us gain a geometric intuition into what some of these abstract entities mean. That idea is this:
