I'm admittedly biased at the idea that unfamiliar scales necessarily need some form of familiar ground. The diatonic major scale is said to contain a leading tone (the "s" at the end of its step pattern), hence preserving this property was deemed necessary for how I explore (and play with) unfamiliar mosses.

The diatonic major scale is said to contain a leading tone (the "s" at the end of its step pattern), hence preserving this property was deemed necessary for how I explore (and play with) unfamiliar mosses. For this reason, my notion of a mos's "default mode" is whatever its equivalent of a major scale is.

Teasing out the properties of the diatonic minor scale is admittedly harder to justify. The current assumption is that the leading tone is lost, but the interval between the first and second degrees is still in its large form as seen diatonic major. This property only works for mosses that have more L's than s's, hence the amended definition described above. This currently remains untested.
