Back to the good old zoom diagrams! (Sorry for a dumb question):
Can the temperament for adjacent pairs of commas be found from
the wedgie? Or is it done from [0 0 1], [comma], [comma] by
inverting the matrix...

You can get it from the wedge product, which in this case is
equivalent to saying you can get it from the 3D vector cross product.

Right, thanks. Regarding the matrix method: of course I meant [1 0
0]. That method works pretty slick for any limit. (Someday I hope to
understand the underlying logic between using matrices and using
wedgies):)
