One of the cool things about 15edo is how many different kinds of scales it gives you access to. Here, a "scale" refers to a pattern of notes, regardless of mode, key, or root note. So the A minor scale, the F major scale, and so forth are all the same scale, called diatonic.

[[File:Chair 2424242.png|thumb|The chair lattice forms the shape of a chair]]
Common to the construction of scales (and the parent concept for periodicity) is the "lattice", a type of scale formed by "connecting the dots" in some interval space.
This is the scale generated by "connecting the dots" to form the shape of a chair in the 7-limit in 15edo. This is called the "Chair of Mr. Bob".
███▒█▒██▒████▒▒█ - kee'ra (Chair of Mr. Bob)
In 15edo, this tuns out to exactly be the kee'ra scale (though on a different mode), due to the archy temperament.
