In [[Zhea Erose]]'s [[primodality]] theory, nejis can be used to explore a prime family (see [[primodality]]), while keeping the transposability, scale structures, rank-2 harmonic theory, notation, etc. associated with that edo. (The neji's denominator need not be prime but primes may be preferred for sake of minimizing lower-complexity intervals. Zhea often uses semiprimes ''pq''.) Zhea Erose's theory also deals with modulations between different prime families, and combining different prime families into one scale. | In [[Zhea Erose]]'s [[primodality]] theory, nejis can be used to explore a prime family (see [[primodality]]), while keeping the transposability, scale structures, rank-2 harmonic theory, notation, etc. associated with that edo.

The concept behind neji is probably first proposed by [[George Secor]] in 2002<ref>[http://www.anaphoria.com/secor-blarney.html GEORGE SECOR - A BIT O' BLARNEY]</ref>, where he called it a '''quasi-equal rational tuning'''. | The concept behind neji is probably first proposed by [[George Secor]] in 2002<ref>[http://www.anaphoria.com/secor-blarney.html GEORGE SECOR - A BIT O' BLARNEY]</ref>, where he called it a '''quasi-equal rational tuning'''. | ||
The idea has also been suggested by [[Paul Erlich]] and a feature to produce them has existed in [[Scala]] for generating them since some time in the 1990's. | The idea has also been suggested by [[Paul Erlich]] and a feature to produce them has existed in [[Scala]] for generating them since some time in the 1990's. | ||
== Versus detempering == | |||
Nejis are distinct from [[detempering]]. Unlike detempering, a neji need not imply a [[mapping]]. Meanwhile, detempering in general does not require the rational pitch replacements to all be part of the same harmonic series. Nejis are compatible with [[regular temperament theory]] if they are treated as working in the concrete tuning layer of temperaments. | |||
