A Fokker block of rank ''r'' has [[maximum variety]] at most 2<sup>(''r'' - 1)</sup>. For example, a rank-2 Fokker block has max variety at most 2 (hence is a MOS); a rank-3 Fokker block has max variety at most 4.

While the idea generalizes easily to [[just intonation subgroups]] and tempered groups, for ease of exposition we will suppose that we are in a [[Harmonic limit|''p''-limit]] situation with ''n'' = π (''p'') primes up to an including ''p''.
