The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

It can be useful to define a notion of the "complexity" of an interval, so that small-integer ratios such as 3/2 are less complex and intervals such as 32805/32768 are more complex. This can be accomplished for any free abelian group of monzos or smonzos by embedding the group in a normed vector space, such that the norm of this space represents the complexity of each interval. 

, where the monzos then form a lattice of vectors with integer coefficients, and then defining a norm on the space. Alternatively, if one prefers thinking of monzos as a Z-module
