::::::: You're putting the cart before the horse. The value of the 5.7.11.13 subgroup is precisely that it is incompatible with existing compositional theories; the whole point of XA is to explore unfamiliar harmony. We don't need a fully realized compositional theory to document a subgroup's musical potential. I'm trying to build one, and documenting the intervals that are available once the familiar ones are gone is a necessary step. [[User:Squib|Squib]] ([[User talk:Squib|talk]]) 10:55, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

:::::::: At this point you're essentially waving the interesting number paradox as a magic wand. Plz don't do that; read our Notability Guidelines.

:::::::: I'll patiently wait.

::::::::: This isn't the interesting number paradox. The roles of 2 and 3 aren't being taken up by the next "uninteresting" primes; I'm trying to abandon those roles entirely. That's what makes this subgroup notable. [[User:Squib|Squib]] ([[User talk:Squib|talk]]) 13:33, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
::::::::: > I'll patiently wait.
::::::::: I see your point. I haven't documented this system yet, so readers don't have the context to understand what makes the interval relationship meaningful. Documenting it all from scratch is daunting, though... [[User:Squib|Squib]] ([[User talk:Squib|talk]]) 16:45, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
