Theorem: Suppose ''S'' is a 2/1-equivalent increasing constant structure JI scale of length ''n''. Let <math>C_1</math> be the set of 1-steps of ''S'', and suppose that <math>C_1</math> is a ''basis'' for the JI group ''A'' generated by it. Then there exists an epimorphic val <math> v: A \to \mathbb{Z}</math> which is a val of ''n''-edo (and a similar statement holds for other equaves). | Theorem: Suppose ''S'' is a 2/1-equivalent increasing constant structure JI scale of length ''n''.

the condition of linear independence cannot be omitted, since otherwise the scale {5/4, 32/25, 2/1} is a counterexample. | |||
