: It follows from the basic properties of matrix multiplication. If you have two row vectors v and w, then the null space of the concatenated matrix [v;w] is defined as those vectors mapping to (0,0), which means any such vector needs to map to 0 for both v and w.

== Link back to new Temperament merging page ==

I've added a new page [[Temperament merging]] that attempts to give a plainer language, more pragmatic take on some concepts that are discussed on this page, supplemented with diagrams and examples. This new page is directed toward a general audience — readers with less mathematical background, but who still want to understand this topic well enough to do something with it. The first line of it links here: "This page gives a general introduction to this concept; for a more mathematical take on this, see [[Meet and join]]."

I'm writing here because I think it'd be great if the Meet and join page returned the favor, linking back to the new Temperament merging page, perhaps also as its first line, something like "This page gives a more mathematical approach to this topic; for a simpler introduction, see [[Temperament merging]]."

If there is agreement, I will not be able to do it myself, because I don't have sufficient privileges to modify this page, since it has been recently restricted.

This pattern of linking via the first lines between the pairs of general and mathematical takes on the same topic is fairly common, by the way. You can find it with [[comma basis]] and [[dual list]], [[mapping]] and [[temperament mapping matrices]], or [[monzo]] and [[monzos and interval space]], for examples.

Anyway, the ink is still quite wet on the new page, so constructive criticism is very welcome there. --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 20:07, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
