:: Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about Huxley temperament in any of the files (I used Spotlight to search them). I did find mentions of "Huxley", but they were all talking about his book, Brave New World, not about the temperament. --[[User:BudjarnLambeth|BudjarnLambeth]] ([[User talk:BudjarnLambeth|talk]]) 08:30, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

::: Just an update to share with everyone. I'm continuing to research this. Here are some things that have been noted by people on the XA Facebook:

::: '''Steve Martin''': "Hi Bud, I can't find a definition of Huxley (it is not in Graham's database afaics), I'll look at the numbers when I get a chance. Orwell has 8/5 from 3 generators, and a 4s9L mos, whereas garibertet (not heard of it before) has 5/3 from 3 generators, and a 4L9s mos, so there are some differences."

::: '''Ville-Pekka Turpeinen''' Judging by the name it appears to be riffing on Orwell by having a sharper 7/6 that gives 4/3 with six generators instead of Orwell's 7 generators of 3/2.

According to Xen Wiki revision history, that name has been there as long as some pages have existed, which indicates that it comes from some earlier documentation that precedes the wiki itself.

::: Also very noteworthy is this archived discussion on the wiki from 2011. It seems that even by that point, what "Huxley" referred to exactly had been forgotten. But it does appear to be almost identical (or completely identical) to [[Lovecraft]]. But it might have been different in its mapping of 5 or 7 or something. Still gotta try to figure that out: [[Talk:Map of linear temperaments/WikispacesArchive#Lovecraft and Huxley]]. --[[User:BudjarnLambeth|BudjarnLambeth]] ([[User talk:BudjarnLambeth|talk]]) 08:11, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
