This uses [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_algebra|multilinear algebra]] to define a unique reduced wedge product uniquely associated to the abstract regular temperament. The intervals of the temperament, as an abstract group, may be defined by the [[http://mathworld.wolfram.com/InteriorProduct.html|interior product]] of a [[Wedgies and Multivals|wedgie]] for a p-limit temperament with the p-limit monzos.

For example, using "v" to represent the interior product, we have mir = &lt;&lt;6 -7 -2 -25 -20 15|| for the wedgie of 7-limit miracle. Then the interior product mir v |1 0 0 0&gt; is &lt;0 -6 7 2|, with 15/14 we get mir v |-1 1 1 -1&gt; is &lt;1 1 3 3|, and with 16/15 we get mir v |4 -1 -1 0&gt; is also &lt;1 1 3 3|.

Applying the vals successively (an operation we may regard as a matrix multiplication if we like) to a rational interval gives an element in abelian group representing the notes of the temperament. For example, the normal val list for 7-limit miracle is [&amp;lt;1 1 3 3|, &amp;lt;0 6 -7 -2|] and applying this to the monzo for either 16/15 or 15/14 leads to [0 1]. &lt;br /&gt;
