==== If the steps of a CS scale are linearly independent, then the scale is epimorphic ====
==== If the steps of a CS scale are linearly independent, then the scale is a strong CS ====
Theorem: Suppose ''S'' is a 2/1-equivalent increasing constant structure JI scale of length ''n''. Let <math>C_1</math> be the set of 1-steps of ''S'', and suppose that <math>C_1</math> is a basis for the JI subgroup ''A'' generated by it. Then there exists an epimorphism <math> v: A \to \mathbb{Z}</math> which is a val of ''n''-edo (and a similar statement holds for other equaves).

(The condition of <math>C_1</math> being a basis rather than merely a generating set cannot be omitted, since the scale {5/4, 32/25, 2/1} is a CS but not epimorphic. The converse of this conditional also fails, as {9/8, 5/4, 3/2, 25/16, 2/1} is epimorphic under [[5edo]]'s [[patent val]].)

Define the linear map <math>v:A \to \mathbb{Z}</math> by defining <math>v(\mathbf{s}) = 1</math> for any step <math>\mathbf{s} \in C_1</math> and extending uniquely by linearity.
