Work-in-progress

This page assumes the reader is familiar with TAMNAMS mos names, mos prefixes, and step ratios.

TAMEX (from Temperament-Agnostic Moment-of-Symmetry Scale Extended Naming System), originally devised by Frostburn and Ganaram inukshuk as two separate naming schemes, is an extension to the mos pattern names provided by TAMNAMS. This scheme a means of describing how descendant scales (namely, chromatic and enharmonic mosses) with more than 10 steps relate back to smaller mosses and, to a lesser extent, what step ratios of the original mos is needed to produce that descendant mos. Additionally, it is a means of generalizing the notion of a chromatic scale to nondiatonic mosses.

Types of descendant mosses

Using 5L 2s (diatonic) as an example, a tree of mosses can be produced as a scale tree.
