Mathematical theory
Español Tuning theory can become heavily mathematical, and here are links to some of the pages which wade into deeper waters.
Scale Basics
Regular Temperaments
Basics
- Monzos and interval space
- Vals and tuning space
- Temperament mapping matrices
- Dual list
- Mathematical theory of regular temperaments
- Mathematical theory of saturation
Interval and Chord Metrics
- Height
- Benedetti height
- Tenney height
- Kees height
- Wilson height
- Weil height and Tenney-Weil height
- Chord complexity
Subgroup Temperaments
- Subgroup Temperament Families, Relationships, and Genes
- Subgroup monzos ("smonzos") and subgroup vals ("svals")
- Tempered monzos ("tmonzos") and tempered vals ("tvals")
- Subgroup basis matrices

- Sane and insane temperaments
- k*N subgroups
Exterior algebra
- Wedgies and multivals
- Recoverability
- The dual
- Interior product
- Douglas Blumeyer and Dave Keenan's Intro to exterior algebra for RTT
- Mike's note: Douglas and Dave, having their own interpretation of RTT, sometimes use different terminology than the rest of the stuff here, but this page still has some very good insights and is a worthwhile read.
