If at any point in the application of T a negative number is reached, that combination of step incidences does not correspond to an SN scale. Accordingly, though for rank-2, any possible step signature corresponds to an SN scale, for higher ranks only a small portion of possible step signatures correspond to SN scales. The step signature (2,2,3), for example, does not correspond to an SN scale, as the iterative application of T leads to a negative number, i.e., (2,2,3)->(2,2,-1). | If at any point in the application of T a negative number is reached, that combination of step incidences does not correspond to an SN scale.
