Are these things really "core concepts"?

- Hexany

- Diatonic, chromatic, enharmonic, subchromatic

- Equal division of the tritave

- Chord of nature

No, not really. EDTs is an interesting case, because if you ask me they should be a sidenote at best. For some reason in music education, if you see anything about microtonality, it is likely to include something like JI, 24edo, and Bohlen-Pierce. Why it is this way, I have no idea.

Regardless, here's my proposal:

Other things to consider: JI: just intonation subgroup, scales: step pattern, maybe combination product set instead of hexany. I personally like "Diatonic, chromatic, enharmonic, subchromatic" enough but it should be under "RTT" if we keep it.
