Harry Partch is the person most associated with the tonality diamond, and ~~explains that he gives a different story for how he discovered the concept~~, it is likely ~~this source~~ that ~~gave him~~ the idea, ~~which he then extended to the 11~~-~~odd-limit and made the basis of his tonal system~~.

Harry Partch is the person most associated with the tonality diamond, and claimed to have invented it. However, it is likely that he plagarized the idea from Meyer.<ref>[https://www.chrysalis-foundation.org/wp-content/uploads/ThePartchHoaxDoctrines.pdf Forster, Cris (2015).

[[Erv Wilson]] in particular was inspired by Partch's use of the tonality diamond and it's extended form.
