If f and g are both vals (1-maps) then this becomes especially easy: f^g(u,v) = f(u)g(v) - f(v)g(u). Let's consider a specific example. Suppose E19 = &lt;19 30 44 53| is the equal temperament val for septimal 19et, and E31 = &lt;31 49 72 87| is the val for septimal 31et. Then writing intervals multiplicatively, we have

E19^E31 (2,3) = E19(2)E31(3) - E19(3)E31(2) = 19*49 - 31*30 = 1

(E19\wedge E31)(2,3) = E19(2)E31(3) - E19(3)E31(2) = 19*49 - 31*30 = 1
[[math]]


We may continue in this way to consider (2,5), (2,7), (3,5), (3,5), (3,7) and (5,7), and writing them in this alphabetical order yields &lt;&lt;1 4 10 4 13 12||. Here the double angle braces are to indicate that the object is a 2-map. In fact, it is a special kind of 2-map in that it is the result of taking a wedge product rather than being, eg, the sum of two wedge products and is called a **bival**. In the same way, triple wedge products yield trivals which we depict with three angle braces, and so forth. Just as vals as associatd to rank one (equal) temperaments, bivals are associated to [[rank two temperament]]s such as [[meantone]], trivals to [[rank three temperament]]s, and so forth. In tuning theory the necessity to look at any n-maps aside from vals, bivals and trivals seldom arises, so this notation, which is not standardly mathematical but which has been adopted for convenience by tuning theorists, is quite practical. As we can see by comparing the numbers, E19^E31 is the same object we were calling "meantone(u,v)" which gives us complexity measurements for meantone.
