The '''~~Human~~ EDO ~~Size Categorization~~''' or '''HUECAT''' is a classification system devised by [[Budjarn Lambeth]] in 2024.

The '''human EDO size categorization''' or '''HUECAT''' is a classification system devised by [[Budjarn Lambeth]] in 2024.

There is much ambiguity about whether certain ~~EDOs~~ are "big" or "small". Each composer and theorist has their own intuition about this. That makes it quite difficult for authors to try to talk about size as a property of EDOs.

There is much ambiguity about whether certain [[EDO]]s are "big" or "small". Each composer and theorist has their own intuition about this. That makes it quite difficult for authors to try to talk about size as a property of EDOs.

HUECAT aims to alleviate that by not attempting to make any judgment about big or small, and instead categorizing EDOs based on how similar their number of notes is, to the number of humans present at some type of everyday place or event.

The categories HUECAT uses are:

* '''Picnic EDOs''': 1 to 4

* '''Birthday EDOs''': 5 to 19

* '''Carousel EDOs''': 20 to 34

Line 16:

* '''Wedding EDOs''': 75 to 174

* '''Village EDOs''': 175 to 999

* '''Town EDOs''': ~~1000~~ to 49,999

* '''Town EDOs''': 1,000 to 49,999

* '''City EDOs''': 50,000 and up

HUECAT is not intended to be authoritative in any way, it is simply ~~an arsenal~~ for musicologists to have in their ~~toolbox~~, if ever writing about EDO sizes proves difficult.

HUECAT is not intended to be authoritative in any way, it is simply a tool for musicologists to have in their arsenal, if ever writing about EDO sizes proves difficult.

There is nothing about HUECAT that locks it down to [[octave]]s or [[equal tuning]]s specifically, either, it could be used for any family of scales with an increasing number of notes: [[AFDO]]s, [[IFDO]]s, [[EDT]]s, [[EDF]]s, [[ED5]]s, etc.
