non-uniqueness

"It should be noted that while monzos correspond uniquely to positive real numbers (always rational numbers in the case of monzos), vectors in Tenney space do not. For instance, while [1 0⟩ represents 2, so does [0 log3(2)⟩."

Why is this, and why is it important? --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 16:24, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

It probably tries to say that log3(2), when in the place of Tenney-weighted 3, translates to the ratio of 2/1. I don't think that makes much practical sense tho. FloraC (talk) 18:21, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
Do you think this idea should be clarified, then, or possibly removed? --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 19:28, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

advantages

"Because of the mathematical advantages of Euclidean norms..."

What advantages? --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 16:24, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Naturally, the existence of analytic expressions. FloraC (talk) 18:21, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
Okay. Well, that certainly wasn't obvious to me when I first came across this article. But perhaps this article doesn't target readers for whom that isn't already obvious, in which case it's fine or even preferable to leave the article as it is. --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 19:28, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
