:''This page assumes the reader is familiar with [[TAMNAMS]] mos names, mos prefixes, and step ratios.''
'''TAMEX''' (from '''''T'''emperament'''-A'''gnostic '''M'''oment-of-Symmetry Scale '''Ex'''tended Naming System''), originally devised by [[User:Frostburn|Frostburn]] and [[User:Ganaram inukshuk|Ganaram inukshuk]] as two separate naming schemes, is an extension to the mos pattern names provided by TAMNAMS. This scheme a means of describing how descendant scales (namely, chromatic and enharmonic mosses) with more than 10 steps relate back to smaller mosses and, to a lesser extent, what step ratios of the original mos is needed to produce that descendant mos. Additionally, it is a means of generalizing the notion of a [[chromatic scale]] to nondiatonic mosses.
 
== Types of descendant mosses ==
Using [[5L 2s]] (diatonic) as an example, a tree of mosses can be produced as a scale tree.
