The "wedgie method"

What is this referring to exactly? The phrasing is ambiguous, and the link just goes to the general page for the wedgie, which is quite long and complex.

So is it perhaps referring to how the TE logflat badness of each these temperaments was obtained? Or is it perhaps referring to how the temperaments themselves were obtained?

If the latter, does it have to do with the stuff about Pfaffians, Grassmanians, etc. in the section Conditions on being a wedgie?

I can see in the edit history that the name "the wedgie method" was only recently added, so I don't get the sense that it's an established thing. But if we're going to say "the wedgie method" here instead of "the method described here", then that begs the question, "as opposed to what other method(s)"? And I just don't know much about this yet and don't see how I would find out more from this information. --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 01:48, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

I suspect it's this: it's possible to iterate thru all temperaments by complexity using wedgies, and filter out those which are non-temperaments and/or are of high badness. FloraC (talk) 12:43, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
