The MOS scale family tree (or mos family tree) is an infinite binary tree that organizes [[MOS scale|moment-of-symmetry scales]] based on the parent-to-child relationship between scales. This tree is distinct from other trees, such as the scale tree (which organizes scales based on the Farey tree) and the Stern-Brocot tree. | The MOS scale family tree (or mos family tree) is an infinite binary tree that organizes [[MOS scale|moment-of-symmetry scales]] based on the parent-to-child relationship between scales. This tree is distinct from other trees, such as the scale tree (which organizes scales based on the Farey tree) and the Stern-Brocot tree, in that the mos family tree organizes scales regardless of temperament, equave, step size, or period. In other words, this is a family tree of step patterns. | ||
