The roots of '''Regular Temperament Theory''' — or '''RTT''' — can be traced back for centuries. The practice far predates the theory, and in particular [[meantone]] temperament has been known since the 15th century. Many [[Pioneers_of_the_Regular_Mapping_Paradigm|early pioneers]] set the stage for the general theory to come.

A significant amount of this theory's early development occurred online via the [[Wikipedia: Yahoo! Groups]] service. The groundwork was laid by [[Paul Erlich]], [[Graham Breed]], [[Dave Keenan]], [[Herman Miller]], and [[Paul Hahn]] in the late 1990's.

* Nicola Vicentino (1511–1576): [[adaptive JI]], [[31edo|31-ET]]

* Leonhard Euler (1707-1783): tonespace ([[5-limit]])

* Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-1894): psychoacoustics

* RHM Bosanquet (1841–1913): regular mapping, generalized keyboard

* Shohe Tanaka (1862-1945): 5-limit tonespace (triangular projection)

* [[Adriaan Fokker]] (1887-1972): [[Fokker blocks|periodicity blocks]]

* [[Harry Partch]] (1901-1974): [[JI|extended JI]]

* [[Erv Wilson]] (1928-2016): extended tonespace (and projections), [[MOS]], scale tree

In 2001 [[Gene Ward Smith]] joined Yahoo! Groups and immediately began making major contributions to the conversation, introducing new terminology and higher-level math. He and his closer collaborators such as [[Mike Battaglia]] also did much of the work to document RTT on this wiki.
