m →Summary for xen-math nerds: fixed typo in new sentence added previous edit defining bounds for scales that could be considered part of the Porcutone system
Lhearne (talk | contribs)
added section on porcutone diminished, changed porcutone-15 to be the SNS child of porcutone diminished, updated xen-math summary, changed interval names of porcutone octatonic to have universal intervals namesfor porcutone octatonic and diminished scales.

We could alternatively treat the Porcutone octatonic as a bebop scale, using 2-step stacked tetrads. Since the scale has 8 notes, there are only 2 different 2-step stacked tetrads. In 12edo these are the major add 6 and the fully diminished tetrads. The meantone C major add 6 tunes to 45:55:66:75 in Porcutone. Using the G♯, as in the left-handed Porcutone octatonic, the G♯ diminished tetrad tunes to 33:40:48:55 (when B is the bottom note). Using the A♭, as in the right-handed Porcutone octatonic, the B diminished tetrad also tunes to 33:40:48:55 (when D is the bottom note).

Unlike the Porcutone diatonic, and chromatic scales, the Porcutone octatonic is chiral, and is therefore not a step-nested scale. As we can see, it is more complex than the Porcutone diatonic. The Porcutone pentatonic and diatonic scales is also wakalix / PWF, and it can be seen that the Porcutone octatonic is more complex than the Porcutone pentatonic as well. It is left as an excercise for the reader to determine the complexity of the porcutone chromatic, and compare that to the porcutone octatonic.

=== Porcutone Diminished or Porcupine-Diminished ===
Modifying the right or left-handed Porcutone octatonic by switching the order of adjacent pairs of large and medium steps, i.e., by modifying steps of the scale by the L-M chroma - the difference between the large and medium steps - leads to similar Porcupine[8] detempers. Since L and M temper together under Porcupine tempering, any resulting scale tempers to Porcupine[8] just as before, but the scale it tempers to under Diminished and Father temperaments are modified.
 
Take the Ultharian dark major mode of the left-handed Porcutone octatonic, for example: LMLsMLML. Raising the sixth and eighth degrees of the scale by the L-M chroma leads to the mode LMLsLMLM. Similarly, taking the Mnarian middle major mode LMLMsLML of the right-handed Porcutone octatonic and raising the root and the third degree by the L-M chroma leads to the mode MLMLsLML. We can see that LMLsLMLM and MLMLsLML are modes of the same scale. We know that this scale tempers to Porcupine[8]; tempering M=s instead leads to LsLsLsLs, i.e., Diminished[8]; and finally tempering L=s leads to LsLLLsLs, a mod of Father[8]. Like the Porcutone chromatic and diatonic scale, this scale is an SN scale, and is therefor achiral. We may name this scale perhaps the Porcupine-Diminished scale, or we may include it in the Porcutone system as the Porcutone diminished scale. It may be more wise to refer to this scale as the Porcupine-Diminished scale to avoid confusion that might result if, while the octatonic scale and the diminished scale are different names for the same scale, the Porcutone octatonic and the Porcutone diminished scale are not.
 
Every other step of any mode of the Porcutone Diminished scale gives an inversion of the 5-limit diminished tetrad; therefore every second step of the Porcutone Diminished scales only comes in two different sizes, as opposed to the four different sizes of every second step of the Porcutone octatonic. Although the Porcutone Diminished is simpler in this way, the Porcutone octatonic provides more major and minor traids.

The Porcutone system is built via step nesting from the 5-limit minor seventh tetrad: 6/5 3/2 9/5 2/1. The bounds for its scales are the set of temperings of the rank-3 step-nested children of the 4-note SNS 6/5 3/2 9/5 2/1.

Alternatively, a 15-note scale can be built from the Porcutone octatonic. The resulting scale tempers to Porcupine[15].
Alternatively, a 15-note scale can be built from the Porcutone diminished. The resulting scale tempers to Porcupine[15], as well as to Hanson[11].


Let's start with the just left-handed Porcutone octatonic: 27/25 6/5 4/3 36/25 8/5 5/3 9/5 2/1 in the Kadathian bright major mode. It contains 4 large steps of 10/9, 3 medium steps of 25/24 and 1 small step of 25/24. Putting a small step into the bottom of each medium and large step results in the 15-note scale
Starting instead with the Porcutone diminished scale: MLsLMLML, shown in the bright minor mode as porcutone bright minor diminished. Putting a small step into the bottom of each medium and large step leads to the child SNS of the porcutone diminished scale: the fifteen note SNS msmLmmLmsmLmsmL, or mLmsmLmsmLmsmLm in it's symmetric mode, comprising 4 large steps of 16/15, 8 medium steps of 25/24 and 3 small steps of 648/625, i.e., 


25/24 27/25 9/8 6/5 5/4 4/3 25/18 36/25 3/2 8/5 5/3 125/72 9/5 15/8 2/1, with step pattern msmLmLmsmLmmsmL, comprising 4 large steps of 16/15, 8 medium steps of 25/24 and 3 small steps of 648/625. This is right-handed Porcutone-15.
25/24 10/9 125/108 6/5 5/4 4/3 25/18 36/25 3/2 8/5 5/3 216/125 48/25 2/1.


Starting instead with the just right-handed Porcutone octatonic: 10/9 6/5 4/3 36/25 3/2 5/3 9/5 2/1 in the Mnarian middle major mode, leads to the scale
Tempering m = s (tempering out 15625/15552, the Hanson comma) results in sLsssLsssLsssLs, which is Hanson[15];


25/24 10/9 125/108 6/5 5/4 4/3 25/18 36/25 3/2 25/16 5/3 125/72 9/5 15/8 2/1, with step pattern mLmsmLmsmmLmsmL. We can see that this scale is the inverse of right-handed Porcutone-15; accordingly it is left-handed Porcutone-15.
tempering L = m (tempering out 128/125, the Augmented comma) results in LLLsLLLsLLLsLLL, which is a MODMOS of Augmented[15]


Tempering out 100/99, the ptolemismic right-handed and left-handed Porcutone-15 scales approximate
tempering L = s (tempering out 250/243, the Porcupine comma) results in sLsLsLsLsLsLsLs, which is Porcupine[15].


25/24 12/11 9/8 6/5 5/4 4/3 11/8 16/11 3/2 8/5 5/3 55/32 9/5 15/8 2/1 and 
tempering out s would lead to sLLsLsL, which is Dicot[7];


25/24 10/9 55/48 6/5 5/4 4/3 11/8 16/11 3/2 25/16 5/3 55/32 9/5 15/8 2/1 respectively.
tempering out m would lead to ssLsLssLsssL, which is a MODMOS of Diminished[12].


If 144/143 is tempered out additionally, leading to 2.3.5.11.13 ptolemismic tuning, the scales may be more simply written as approximating
Tempering out 100/99 and 144/143 leads to the simplest pre-image: 25/24 10/9 15/13 6/5 5/4 4/3 11/8 13/9 3/2 8/5 5/3 26/15 48/25 2/1.


25/24 12/11 9/8 6/5 5/4 4/3 11/8 13/9 3/2 8/5 5/3 45/26 9/5 15/8 2/1 and

From smsLsLsmsLssmsL, tempering m = s would lead to sssLsLsssLssssL, which is a MODMOS of Hanson[15];

tempering L = m would lead to sLsLsLsLsLssLsL, which is Porcupine[15];
Accordingly Porcutone-15 would temper to two step sizes in 19edo (Hanson), 22edo (Porcupine), 34edo (Hanson), and 27edo (Augmented). If we wish to keep the 3-step size structure, we can tune to 26edo or 41edo with (L, m, s) = (3, 2, 1), and (4, 3, 2) respectively.


tempering L = s would lead to LsLLLLLsLLLLsLL, which is a MODMOS of Augmented[15];
Tempering out the 325/324, the difference between 100/99 and 144/143 rather than both of 100/99 and 144/143 leads to a more accurate temperament that does not include the whole 2.3.5.11.13 subgroup., rather just the 2.3.5.13 subgroup. The simplest JI pre-image in this temperament would be 25/24 10/9 15/13 6/5 5/4 4/3 18/13 13/9 3/2 8/5 5/3 26/15 48/25 2/1, which differs only from the simplest pre-image of the scale under 2.3.5.11.13 ptolemismic tempering by the inclusion of 18/13 rather than 11/8.  
 
tempering out s would lead to sLLsLsL, which is Dicot[7];
 
tempering out m would lead to ssLsLssLsssL, which is a MODMOS of Diminished[12].


Accordingly the Porcutone-15 scales would temper to two steps in 19edo (Hanson), 22edo (Porcupine), 34edo (Hanson), and 27edo (Augmented). If we wish to keep the 3-step structure, we can tune to 26edo or 41edo with (L, m, s) = (3, 2, 1), and (4, 3, 2) respectively.
2.3.5.13 325/324 may be better tuned to 46edo, with (L, m, s) = (4, 2, 1)
