| === Diasem ===

| "Diasem[5]" is: LMLMs

| | |
| For example (one rotation of) [[diasem]] is (right is 4/3, down right is 7/6)

| This is LM LS LM LS L
| |
| here you're stacking 1/1-7/6-4/3
| |
| but if you extend to 14 notes you have to do it like this

| X = 28/27; Y = 9/8 minus 28/27; Z = 64/63
| |

| L = XY, M = X, S = Z

| The tokens show what the old steps break down into
| |
| here you have two parallel chains of 4/3's, a 28/27 apart

| Could i have switched the roles of X and Z here

| == MV3 proof ==
| |
| Prove the following: "It is a mathematical fact that, with only one exception, at least two of the three steps must occur the same number of times. For example, it is possible to have a max-variety-3 scale with 3 small steps, 5 medium steps, and 3 large steps, because there are the same number of small steps as large steps. But a max-variety-3 scale with 3 small steps, 5 medium steps, and 4 large steps is impossible. (The one exception to this rule is "aabacab", along with its repetitions "aabacabaabacab", etc.) Because of this, there always exists some "generator" interval for any max-variety-3 scale (other than the one exception) such that the scale can be expressed as two parallel chains of this generator which are almost equal in length (the lengths are either equal, or differ by 1). Once you have chosen a rank-3 temperament and a specific generator interval, there is a mechanical procedure to generate all max-variety-3 scales of a certain size (of which there are, however, infinitely many)."

| | |
| Claim: A MV3 scale always has some subset (made by combining some of the two-step intervals into one) that is also MV3.
| |
| === The word made by any two of the step sizes is a MOS ==
| |
| suppose we have three kinds of strings T1, T2, T3 of Y's and Z's.
| |
| If the occurrence of T1 has an X inserted in the middle, then we can scoot it left or right until there are no X's in the middle
| |
| then we (can assume we) have one of T1+X, T2+X, or T3+X. Scoot this left and you lose the X on the right, and gain another non-X letter on the left so you get a fourth variant of this interval class that contains T1 + X, a contradiction.
