# [[Maximum variety]] 2: Ascending by a certain number of steps is equivalent to ascending by one of at most two intervals, and the maximum of two is achieved (i. e. it is not true that ascending by a certain number of steps is always equivalent to ascending by one interval.)

# [[Binary]] and has a generator: The scale step comes in exactly two sizes, and the scale is formable from stacking some interval called a generator and octave-reducing.

# Mode of a Christoffel word: The scale can be formed by creating a 2D lattice where the period is on the lattice, then taking pitches by travelling vertically and horizontally from the origin, maintaining as close to the line from the origin to the octave as possible without going above it.
