The complete scale tree runs from 0\1 to 1\1, a full octave. However, often only the region of the scale tree in the neighborhood of 3/2 is shown. Furthermore, the tree is often ''pruned'' to show only the best approximations of 3/2.
The complete scale tree runs from 0\1 to 1\1, a full octave, as seen here:

However, often only the region of the scale tree in the neighborhood of 3/2 is shown. Furthermore, the tree is often ''pruned'' to show only the best approximations of 3/2.


This scale tree provides a visual map of the world of EDOs, based on fifth size. Two kites are colored here: the pentatonic (3\5) and heptatonic (4\7) kites.
