| Dec 22, 2014 at 21:48 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan | I think the question is why such a general definition deserves the name "totient." Is it just by analogy with the Euler totient function or is there some general non-mathematical meaning of the word "totient" that is being invoked here? | |
