=== Erv Wilson's original definition ===

~~The concept of MOS scales were invented by~~ Erv Wilson in 1975 ~~in his~~ paper ''Moments of Symmetry''. A moment-of-symmetry scale consists of:

Erv Wilson's 1975 paper ''Moments of Symmetry'' provides the original definition of a moment-of-symmetry scale. A moment-of-symmetry scale consists of:

* A generator and an [[equivalence interval]], called the period, which is usually the [[octave]].
