'''Diversity''' is a scale measurement which categorizes scales according to the "diversity" of available intervals. As a general rule of thumb, scales with many unique interval sizes will have a high diversity. Similarly, scales with many redundant intervals will be assigned a low diversity rating.

Properties:
Properties:
* Degenerate scales (scales with no intervals smaller than an octave and larger than a unison) have a diversity of 0.
* EDOs have a diversity of 1.
* Div(S) ≥ 0 since there are no intervals larger than an octave.
