The super-pitch equivalent of [[just intonation]] is intervals of the form logb(x) for positive integers b and x. This includes all of just intonation, since all just intervals can be described as logarithms (e.g. [[3/2]] = log4(8)), in addition to some irrational numbers such as log2(3).

It is possible to construct super-pitch equivalents of most concepts in [[regular temperament theory]]. There exists a super-pitch equivalent of prime factorization–every integer greater than 2 can be uniquely expressed as a power tower of numbers in the sequence OEIS [https://oeis.org/A007916 A007916] (non-perfect powers). For example, 8 = 23, 16 = 222, 25 = 52, 27 = 33, 36 = 62, and 81 = 322. From this, it is straightforward to define the super-pitch equivalent of [[monzo]]s, or "super-monzos" (just substitute prime factorization for this power tower representation).
