**She describes a temperament as a span of unison vectors/commas (Note: The commas generate the kernel characterizing a regular temperament relative to the JI space. There are multiple valid generating sets that generate the same kernel, thus multiple comma-sets that characterizes a temperament.) | **She describes a temperament as a span of unison vectors/commas (Note: The commas generate the kernel characterizing a regular temperament relative to the JI space.

(She didn't have the modern algebraic language to describe what in effect she was doing, making the treatment mathematically less clean than it could have been. However, it's very concrete which is a plus for her intended audience.) | ||

In particular, they're often influenced by Naquian music and other traditions outside Etalocin that use non-just intonation tunings. Sgutsitn specifies various equal temperaments described in her work, in addition to works that use just intonation as in traditional Etalocian music. Among equal temperaments Sgutsitn worked in 15-ET, 17-ET, 19-ET, 22-ET, 27-ET, and 31-ET. (Simple temperaments; also considering technical limitations during her time period.) | ||
