Adding wedgies?

What's going on here?

[5, 13, -17, 9, -41, -76], TOP error 0.27611
"plus"
[13, 14, 35, -8, 19, 42], TOP error 0.26193
"equals"
[18, 27, 18, 1, -22, -34], TOP error 0.036378

I think Gene talked about this before but I didn't quite catch on
then.

BTW, these are the three most accurate 7-limit temperaments with L1
multival complexity less than 40 (though it's over 38 for each of the
three).

Boy, Paul, I am sure looking forward to your paper!!

This reminds me that my 'tuning-math forms' project is in limbo.
I have all the materials collected... just gotta find time to
do it... (if anybody wants to take a stab I'll make the materials
available...)

Other than ennealimmal, which is a "bonus" temperament, my paper
stays below complexity < 24 -- and I doubt I'll be talking about
adding wedgies. So don't get your hopes up.

Oh, I suspected as much. I'm looking forward to it for other
reasons!

Remember, the one where I show how to calculate this stuff on
paper, 'long division' style? By "materials" I just meant the
relevant posts from you, Gene, and Dave. If Gene answers this
thread it will probably get included as well.

Parakleismic + Amity = Ennealimmal. Both parakleismic and amity have
4375/4374 as a comma, and so does their sum (and difference, for that
matter.)

I did talk about it before, though I can't recall what I said about
it. It is related to the Klein stuff. For 7-limit wedgies, define the
Pfaffian as follows: let

X = <<x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6||
Y = <<y1 y2 y3 y4 y5 y6||

Then

Pf(X, Y) = y1x6 + x1y6 - y2x5 - x2y5 + y3x4 + x3y4

It is easily checked that we have the identity

Pf(X+Y, X+Y) = Pf(X, X) + 2 Pf(X, Y) + Pf(Y, Y)

The Klein condition for the wedgie X is Pf(X, X)=0. If X and Y both
satisfy the Klein condition, and if Pf(X, Y)=0, then X+Y also
satisfies the Klein condition, and hence is a wedgie. What
Pf(X, Y)=0 means is that X and Y are related; they share a comma.

Probably, you will not want to talk about this in the paper. :)

It seems below that the unshared commas, correspondingly, "add"
(actually multiply).

But how do you simply check whether a particular wedgie eats a
particular comma?

81:80 shared:

Meantone + DominantSevenths = Injera
126:125 "+" 35:36 "=" 49:50

Meantone + Catler = DominantSevenths
126:125 "+" 125:128 "=" 63:64

Meantone + Flattone = Semifourths
225:224 "+" 512:525 "=" 48:49
126:125 "+" 4375:4374 "=" 245:243
126:125 "+" 875:846 "=" 49:48

Injera + Flattone = SupermajorSeconds
50:49 "+" 512:525 "=" 1024:1029
50:49 "+" 864:875 "=" 1728:1715
etc.

Consider the wedgie in multimonzo form, and wedge with the monzo; if
you get a zero multimonzo, you had a comma.

I figured that. But how do you wedge a monzo with a multimonzo?

Aha -- does the klein condition equate with the bivector being a
simple bivector?

It's just a special case of the general definition. If you mean me
personally, I have Maple programs written to do it.

Is it a simple expression in terms of determinants?

Though I'd still like to see this answered, it would appear to be
true according to pages 7-8 of this paper:

http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-th/pdf/0311/0311162.pdf

where it seems that the Klein correspondence does indeed equate to
the condition that the bivector be simple.

But I could be reading it wrong.

You didn't answer that or any of the other approximately 10 questions
I posted that day.
