Similarly, the '''meet''' A ⊓ B is defined by taking the intersection of the kernels of A and B. The meet of A and B, in terms of vals, tempers out only those commas tempered in both A ''and'' B, and in terms of vals, is supported by linear combination of vals supporting either A ''or'' B. If A and B are defined by vals, the meet A ⊓ B is defined by taking the normal val list for A and that of B, concatenating them, and reducing the result to a normal interval list. Since temperaments expressed as normal val lists can be converted to temperaments expressed as normal interval lists and back again via the [[dual list]] function, we can also us this to compute the normal comma list for the meet.
