Denoting the OETES for any element x of interval space by T(x), we first define the hobbit of an odd-numbered scale; that is, a scale for which v[1] is an odd number. If v[1] is odd then for each integer j, 0 < j __<__ v[1], we choose a corresponding monzo m such that <v|m> = j, 0 < <J|m> __<__ 1 where J is the JI mapping <log2(2) log2(3) ... log2(p)|, and T(m) is minimal. | Denoting the OETES for any element x of interval space by T(x), we first define the hobbit of an odd-numbered scale; that is, a scale for which v[1] is an odd number.
