The tonic (unison), the period, the generator and the period-complement of the generator make up all the intervals in any given mos scale that might be labelled "perfect". With the exception of the tonic and the period, they may also be "imperfect". Therefore, the degrees of a mos scale which come in a "perfect" variety are called "perfectable" degrees and the degrees of a mos scale which do not come in a "perfect" variety are called "non-perfectable" degrees.
