==Visualizing temperament arithmetic==
[[File:Sum diff and wedge.png|thumb|right|400px|A and B are vectors representing temperaments. They could be maps or prime count vectors. A∧B is their wedge product and gives a higher-[[grade]] temperament that [[merge]]s (sometimes called "meets" or "joins") both A and B. A+B and A-B give the sum and difference, respectively.]]
===Versus the wedge product===
If the [[wedge product]] of two vectors represents the directed area of a parallelogram constructed with the vectors as its sides, then the temperament sum and difference are the vectors that connect the diagonals of this parallelogram.
===Tuning and tone space===


One way we can visualize temperament arithmetic is on [[projective tuning space]].
