4L 7s or kleistonic klyse-TON-ik /klaɪsˈtɒnɪk/ refers to the structure of MOS scales with generators ranging from 1\4edo (one degree of 4edo, 300¢) to 3\11edo (three degrees of 11edo, 327.27¢), representing approximate diatonic minor thirds (6/5). The name refers to the temperament that is one of the harmonic entropy minimums in this range (Kleismic/Hanson), itself named after the interval known as the kleisma.

4L 7s has a heptatonic subset, which is the hard end of the spectrum of the smitonic scale (4L 3s).

Notation

The notation used in this article is LssLsLssLss = А҃В҃Г҃Д҃Е҃Ѕ҃З҃И҃Ѳ҃І҃Ѫ҃А҃, based on old Cyrillic numerals 1-10 using the titlo as a numeric sign, and the addition of the big yus (Ѫ) for 11. Chromas are represented by regular sharps and flats. Thus the 15edo gamut is as follows: А҃ А҃#/В҃b В҃ Г҃ Д҃ Д҃#/Е҃b Е҃ Ѕ҃ Ѕ҃#/З҃b З҃ И҃ Ѳ҃ Ѳ҃#/І҃b І҃ Ѫ҃ А҃

Letter names

The letters can be named in English as such: Az, Vede, Glagol, Dobro, Yest, Dzelo, Zemlya, Izhe, Thita, I(Ee), Yus. They can also be named as numbers 1-11.

Intervals

Generators	Notation (1/1 = А҃)	Interval category name	Generators	Notation of 2/1 inverse	Interval category name
The 11-note MOS has the following intervals (from some root):
0	А҃	perfect unison	0	А҃	dodecave (same as octave)
1	Д҃	perfect kleifourth (minor third)	-1	Ѳ҃	perfect kleininth (major sixth)

The chromatic 15-note MOS (either 4L 11s, 11L 4s, or 15edo) also has the following intervals (from some root):
11	А҃b	diminished dodecave	-11	А҃#	augmented unison (mychroma, kleicomma)
12	Д҃b	diminished kleifourth	-12	Ѳ҃#	augmented kleininth

Tuning ranges

Soft range

The soft range for tunings of kleistonic encompasses parasoft and hyposoft tunings. This implies step ratios smaller than 2/1, meaning a generator sharper than 4\15 = 320¢. This is the range associated with extensions of Orgone[7].

Hypohard

Hypohard tunings of kleistonic have step ratios between 2/1 and 3/1, implying a generator sharper than 5\19 = 315.79¢ and flatter than 4\15 = 320¢. This range represents one of the harmonic entropy minimums, where 6 generators make a just diatonic fifth (3/2), an octave above. This is the range associated with the eponymous Kleismic (aka Hanson) temperament and its extensions.

Hypohard kleistonic edos include 15edo, 19edo, and 34edo. The sizes of the generator, large step and small step of kleistonic are as follows in various hypohard smitonic tunings.

	15edo (basic)	19edo (hard)	34edo (semihard)	Some JI approximations
generator (g)	4\15, 320.00	5\19, 315.79	9\34, 317.65	6/5
L (octave - 3g)	2\15, 160.00	3\19, 189.47	5\34, 176.47	10/9, 11/10
s (4g - octave)	1\15, 80.00	1\19, 63.16	2\34, 70.59	25/24

Parahard

Parahard tunings of kleistonic have step ratios between 3/1 and 4/1, implying a generator sharper than 6\23 = 313.04¢ and flatter than 5\19 = 315.79¢. The minor third is at its purest here, but the resulting scales tend to result in intervals that employ a much higher limit harmony, especially in the case of the superhard 23edo.

Hyperhard

Hyperhard tunings of kleistonic have step ratios between 4/1 and 6/1, implying a generator sharper than 8\31 = 309.68¢ and flatter than 6\23 = 313.04¢. The temperament known as Myna (a pun on "minor third") resides here, as this is the range where 10 generators make a just diatonic fifth (3/2), two octaves above. These scales are stacked with simple intervals, but are melodically difficult due to the extreme step size disparity.

Modes

The names are based on smitonic modes, modified with the "super-" prefix, with thematic additions, as there are an extra 4 modes available.
