# A set of n positive real numbers is the starting point.

# A set S of n positive real numbers is the starting point.

# All the combinations of k elements of the set are obtained, and their products taken.

# These are combined into a set, and then all of the elements of that set are divided by one of them (which one is arbitary.)

# The resulting elements are reduced to an octave and sorted in ascending order, resulting in an octave period of a [[periodic scale]] (the usual sort of scale, in other words.)

# The resulting elements are reduced to an octave and sorted in ascending order, resulting in an octave period of a [[periodic scale]] (the usual sort of scale, in other words) which we may call Cps(S, k).

This is sometimes called a k)n cps. There are special names for special cases: a 2)4 cps is called a [[hexany]]; both 2)5 and 3)5 cps are called [[dekanies]]; both 2)6 and 4)6 cps are called [[pentadekanies]], and a 3)6 cps an [[eikosany]]. These are normally considered in connection with just intonation, so that the starting set is a set of positive rational numbers, but nothing prevents consideration of the more general case.
