The ''n''-function systems (alternately '''functional systems'''[[idiosyncratic]]) are defined by [[osmium]] as a systematic way to try to heuristically find a best guess to the answer of approximately most universal enumeration of [[relative interval qualities]] theoretically perceivable by a sufficiently trained xenmelodic listener.

The derivation is not currently documented on the xen wiki, but the basic premise of ''n''-function systems is defining [[interval class]]es that are ambiguous between more basic interval classes, where what is considered basic is defined derivative of superimposing all perfect [[Ringer scale]]s to form a category system, chosen for their exceptional combination of properties as JI scales and relevance to . The main result — the 50-function system — primarily forms from 24-grid (and to a lesser extent 36-grid) defined indirectly via superimposing all the categorical alignments and misalignments of the 10-form and 14-form, themselves derived from reconciling the 5-form and 7-form (as having the most predictive power) with the more unusual 4-form, where the connection to Ringer scales is very explicit but "form" is used to .
The derivation is not currently documented on the xen wiki, but the basic premise of ''n''-function systems is defining [[interval class]]es that are ambiguous between more basic interval classes, where what is considered basic is defined derivative of superimposing all perfect [[Ringer scale]]s to form a (or multiple) category system(s), chosen for their exceptional combination of properties as JI scales and relevance to perception of harmony. The main result — the 50-function system — primarily forms from 24-grid (and to a lesser extent 36-grid) defined indirectly via superimposing all the categorical alignments and misalignments of the 10-form and 14-form, themselves derived from reconciling the 5-form and 7-form (as having the most predictive power) with the more unusual 4-form, where the connection to Ringer scales is very explicit but "form" is used to describe a distinction from corresponding [[edo]]s, as the optimal perceptual xenmelodic placement will be at least slightly off from perfect in some specific cases.
