From the MOS theory standpoint, the generator of the scale is a modular multiplicative inverse of it's number of notes and the EDO size. A maximal even scale whose generator is equal to it's note amount is called [[concoctic]]. Major and minor scales in standard Western music are such - the generator is a perfect fifth of 7 semitones, as inferred through Pythagorean tuning, and the scale has 7 notes in it.
