For instance, meantone might send 2 to 2, 3 to 5^(1/4) and 5 to 5. Starling, a 7-limit planar temperament, when tuned, might send 2 to 2, 3 to (375/14)^(1/3), 5 to 5 and 7 to (6125/18)^(1/3) (these are minimax tunings.) However, we want to define things more abstractly, and call the above 1/4-comma meantone, etc. not just "Meantone" or "Starling". In the case of a linear temperament, we can assume one generator is an octave or portion thereof, which means that while we have not defined the temperament as a mapping, we've at least come close. In the case of a planar temperament like Starling, this won't work. We could define standardized mappings, such as the Hermite reduced mapping, but it becomes more artificial. My answer has been to define the temperament by its associated wedgie; another option is to reduce a basis for the kernel (the commas of the temperament) in a standard way, such as Tenney-Minkowski. The more abstract creature we get in this way is what I think of as the temperament; it does not, for instance, presume octave equivalence.

You may also wedge pi(p)-n commas together for the same result, where p is the prime limit and pi(x) is the number theory function counting primes less than or equal to x.The dual/complement of the wedge product. But the wedge product can't distinguish torsion from contorsion. I'm using the & operator for combining equal temperaments to get a linear temperament. The + operator can then be for adding equal temperaments to get another equal temperament. So h19&h31=meantone, but h19+h31=h50. Graham

So if reduction is necc., it means that a temperament can be described by two different lists of commas, right? This means we'll have the same problem searching comma space as we did map space.

The files I have here show equivalences between second-order tonality diamonds. If you have p odd numbers in your ratios, the tonality diamond will have of the order of p**2 (p squared) ratios. The second order diamond is made by combining these, so that gives O(p**4) ratios. You're then setting pairs of these ratios to be equivalent, giving O(p**8) commas. You then need to take combinations of pi(p)-1 commas. (That is one minus the number of primes in the ratios.) If you have many more commas than primes, that will go as the pi(p)-1st power. So the total number of wedgies you have to consider is O((p**8)**(pi(p)-1)) Lets simplify this by setting pi(p)~p. To get an understimate, I'll count it as pi(p) but still call it p. The complexity of finding p prime linear temperaments is then O(p**8(p-1)) In the 7-limit, there are only 4 primes, so the calculation is O(4**(8*3)) = O(4**24) = O(2.8e14) candidates (not that many, but that doesn't matter because we don't know how long each one will take). In the 19-limit, there are 8 primes. So we need O(8**(8*7)) = O(8**56) = O(3.7e50) If that really is 3.7e50 candidates, it's impossible. But even in comparison to the 7-limit case, it's huge. And (without much optimisation) I couldn't even do the 7-limit calculation! For display purposes, I'm only showing commas between the first n*3 ratios from the second-order diamond, where n is the size of the second order diamond. Using that would mean only O(p**4(p-1)) candidates. So only O(8**28) in the 19-limit, or O(2e25). But this isn't good enough -- most of my top 19-limit temperaments don't have 7 such equivalences. Whereas combing equal temperaments only gives O(n**2) calculations, where n is the number of ETs you consider. I find n=20 works well, requiring O(400) candidates. This is true in the 5-limit and also the 21-limit. I haven't heard of anybody doing a similar search with unison vectors in the 21-limit, or even suggesting ways to reduce the complexity. Graham

In practice, I reorder the terms of the wedge product I get from wedging commas so that it is the same list as the wedge product I get from wedging ets.
