-'''MOS substitution'''{{idiosyncratic}} is a procedure for obtaining a [[arity|ternary]] scale with arbitrary [[scale signature]] <math>a\mathbf{L}b\mathbf{m}c\mathbf{s}</math> from two MOS scales. The same operation can be done even when the scales involved are not MOS scales or necessarily even binary scales, in which context it may be called '''letterwise substitution''' or simply '''substitution'''.
+'''MOS substitution'''{{idiosyncratic}} is a procedure for obtaining a ternary (3 step sizes) scale from two [[MOS scale]]s. It consists of substituting the step pattern of one MOS (called the filling MOS), step by step, for all occurrences of a chosen step size (either L or s) of another MOS (called the template MOS). Unlike [[MV3]] scales, a MOS substitution scale may have any combination of step sizes.
+Under defined conditions, MOS substitution scales have an advantage of having a [[generator sequence]].
