Bison is a period-2, rank-2 temperament, which is produced by a generator that represents 35/32. As such, the first-circle MOS of it is a [[6L 2s]] scale, which will be refered to as the '''white bison''' in the page, referencing the white keys on a piano. It has a [[hardness]] of about 1.2 and sounds almost like 8edo, which makes it very xenharmonic.

Second-circle MOS is [[8L 6s]], with hardness around 4:1, which means several more circles of generators are desirable.

The step ratio becomes desirable around the 38-note bison, which in 298edo has hardness 11:7.

The basic chord of bison in this paradigm is 0-2-4 white bison steps, which will be called tendoneutral diminished bison triad in the grand scheme, but it can just be called the '''bison triad'''.
