::::: 5. GPS with a "geometric factor" of 1 are degenerate, because in that case they are constant functions. This is a bit weird though, because constant steps correspond to APS, while constant degrees would be just a single pitch. | ::::: 5.

::::: I'm pretty sure I noticed more things, but it's getting late and this is probably enough food for thought for now. I think that framing this in functions with various parameters, experimenting with negative values and with absolute values larger or smaller than 1, and making a difference between the step function and the degree function will help clear out a lot of this. I feel like GPS are a sort of rank-2 family of scales, in the sense that there are two variables to play with, even though rank-2 is probably not the best way to describe how this is behaving. Anyway, that's all for today. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 05:39, 12 April 2023 (UTC) | ::::: I'm pretty sure I noticed more things, but it's getting late and this is probably enough food for thought for now.

:::::: Thanks for the detailed report! I understand and agree with all above. Yeah, I definitely steered this thread away from its original purpose... Perhaps we should continue this part of the conversation on Discord. I know you started some talk in the #wiki channel there, but perhaps we should start a thread? We could include the relevant materials from here to kick it off. --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 22:21, 12 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
