Diaslen (also denoted 4s in groundfault's aberrismic theory) is a family of quasi-diatonic ternary scale patterns with scale signature 5L2m4s, so named by groundfault who considers 33edo's L:m:s = 5:2:1 a good tuning for it. The name diamech is a blend of dia- and the TAMNAMS prefix mech- for machinoid. 23edo is the only edo without a diatonic fifth that has a 5L2mks ternary scale pattern, namely 5L2m4s with L:m:s = 3:2:1.
Structure
The three standard diamech scale patterns, denoted 4sL (LsLsLmLsLsm), 4sC (LmLsLsLmLss), and 4sR (LsLmLsLsLms), may be constructed via MOS substitution, giving generator sequences for the three scales:
| chirality | filling MOS | UDP for filling MOS | step pattern | generator sequence | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Tunings and interpretations
The standard untempered 2.3.7 interpretation for diamech has L = 9/8, m = 49/48, s = 64/63.
