== Family Tree of MOSses ==
== Family Tree of MOSses ==
This is a family tree of MOSses based on using the production rules L->Ls, s->s and L->Ls, s->L on the brightest and darkest mode respectively on a parent scale to produce a pair of sister scales. The result is a binary tree that (as far as I can tell) only includes single-period MOSses and organizes and relates scales by generation rather than by other metrics such as total note count or Farey sums. This tree is five layers deep.

Personal note: I don't think I've ever seen a scale tree organized like this, but I'd be curious to know if it's been conceived elsewhere. The fact that it only contains single-period scales makes it unusual compared to other scale trees.


The scales depicted here are as follows, using TAMNAMS names wherever possible:
