The units of each entry of a mapping are g/p, read "generators per prime." Each mapping row corresponds to a different generator, and each mapping column corresponds to a different prime, and so the value of the mapping entry at the intersection of a given row and column tells how many of the corresponding generator are part of the temperament's approximation of the corresponding prime.
It may be helpful to think of the units of each entry of a mapping as g/p, read "generators per prime." Each mapping row corresponds to a different generator, and each mapping column corresponds to a different prime, and so the value of the mapping entry at the intersection of a given row and column tells how many of the corresponding generator are part of the temperament's approximation of the corresponding prime.
