A scale word ''S'' with ''k'' step sizes X_1, ..., X_k (with a_1 X_1's, ..., and a_k X_k's) is ''line-quantizing'' (LQ) if S, when viewed as a set of instructions tracing a path in Z^k from the origin, results in a path that is a closest approximation to the line [a_1 : a_2 : ... : a_k] intersecting the origin in R^k. (Closest approx in what sense?)
