=== Proof that a WFGS scale is CS ===
Suppose ''u'' and ''v'' are two subwords of ''s'' with Ψ(''u'') = Ψ(''v''). (Ψ(''w'') is the interval size subtended by a subword ''w''.) Modulo equaves, either ''u'' is the imperfect generator of the WFGS, in which case ''u'' = ''v'', or we can assume that ''u'' and ''v'' are both stacks of ''p'' resp. ''q'' detempered perfect generators where we take the ''E'' (equave)-complement generator if necessary. Tempering to the MOS with π, the images π(''u'') and π(''v'') also satisfy Ψ(π(''u'')) = Ψ(π(''v'')) and are a stack of ''l'' resp. ''m'' MOS generators (all of which are perfect). Since the abstract MOS's period and generator are linearly independent, ''m'' = ''l''. Hence Ψ(π(''u'')) = Ψ(π(''v'')) = ''mg + nE''. This expression corresponds to a well-defined number of steps, given the generator ''g'' and the period ''E'' of the MOS, hence ''u'' and ''v'' must subtend the same number of steps.
