A JI scale is '''epimorphic''' if on the JI subgroup ''A'' generated by the scale's intervals, there exists a linear map ''v'': ''A'' → ℤ such that ''v''(''S''[''i'']) = ''i''. | A JI scale is '''epimorphic''' if on the JI subgroup ''A'' generated by the scale's intervals, there exists a linear map, called an '''epimorphism''' or '''epimorphic val''', ''v'': ''A'' → ℤ such that ''v''(''S''[''i'']) = ''i''. | ||
An '''epimorphic temperament''' of an [[epimorphic]] scale ''S'' on a JI group ''A'' is a temperament supported by its [[epimorphic val]] on ''A''. Some [[exotemperament]]s (including vals for small edos) can be used as epimorphic temperaments for small CS scales: | An '''epimorphic temperament''' of an [[epimorphic]] scale ''S'' on a JI group ''A'' is a temperament supported by its [[epimorphic val]] on ''A''.
