|val | |val<ref>"Val" creates an unnecessary barrier to understanding for those already familiar with established terms for concepts RTT borrows from linear algebra. Even if it does have some connection to the mathematical concept of a "valuation", this is of no help in illuminating its music-theory meaning, which is simply that of being a mapping from a single generator to primes. The first sentence in the Xenharmonic Wiki article for "val" says, "a val is a linear map". And the first sentence of the Wikipedia article where "covector" redirects to is: "... a covector is a linear map from a vector space to its field of scalars". So that is why we use "map" in this material instead.</ref> | ||
