And ta-da! You’ve found the mapping for which the comma basis we started with is a basis for the null-space, and it is {{monzo|{{val|19 30 44}}}}. Feel free to try this with any other combination of two commas tempered out by this map. | And ta-da!

Now the null-space function, to take you from {{monzo|{{val|19 30 44}}}} back to the matrix, is pretty much the same thing, but a bit simpler. No need to transpose or reverse.

So that’s not any of the commas we’ve looked at so far (it’s the [[19-comma]] and the [[acute limma]]). But it is clear to see that either of them would be tempered out by 19-ET (no need to map by hand — just look at these commas side-by-side with the map {{monzo|{{val|19 30 44}}}} and it should be apparent). | So that’s not any of the commas we’ve looked at so far (it’s the [[19-comma]] and the [[acute limma]]).

Null-space can be calculated by specialized math programs and web tools. But I think it’s a good idea to work through it by hand at least a couple times, to demystify it and give you a feel for it. | {| class="wikitable" | ||

Null-space can be calculated by specialized math programs and web tools, as linked above. But I think it’s a good idea to work through it by hand at least a couple times, to demystify it and give you a feel for it. | |||
