In mathematical language, a [[Wikipedia:Basis_(linear_algebra)|basis]] for a [[Wikipedia:Linear_subspace|subspace]] of a [[Wikipedia:Vector_space|vector space]] is a minimal set of [[Wikipedia:Vector_(mathematics_and_physics)|vectors]] that [[Wikipedia:Linear_span|span]] the subspace.

The larger set of vectors it represents is called the '''subspace'''. A mathematical word for the set of all commas tempered out by a temperament is a "nullspace", and specifically this is the nullspace of its [[mapping]] matrix; "nullspace" uses the word "space" in this same sense of a "subspace".
