where the dot represents the ordinary dot product. If T is denominated in cents, then J should be also, so that J = {{val|1200 1200 … 1200}}. Here T - J is the list of weighted mistunings of each prime harmonics. Note: this is the definition used by the temperament finder.

G and ψ error both have the advantage that higher rank temperament error corresponds directly to rank one error, but the RMS normalization has the further advantage that in the rank one case, G = sin θ, where θ is the angle between J and the val in question. Multiplying by 1200 to obtain a result in cents leads to 1200 sin θ, TE error as it appears on the temperament finder pages.
G and ψ error both have the advantage that higher rank temperament error corresponds directly to rank one error, but the RMS normalization has the further advantage that in the rank one case, G = sin ''θ'', where ''θ'' is the angle between J and the val in question. Multiplying by 1200 to obtain a result in cents leads to 1200 sin ''θ'', the TE error in cents.
