Originally developed by Inthar for the purpose of adding [[aberrisma]] steps in an orderly manner to a MOS pattern <math>a\mathbf{L}b\mathbf{m}</math> (which we write in place of <math>a\mathbf{L}b\mathbf{s}</math> for convenience's sake, since <math>\mathbf{s}</math> denotes the new aberrisma steps added to the MOS) in the context of groundfault's [[aberrismic theory]], MOS substitution is intended to take advantage of extra potential symmetry when <math>a, c</math> or <math>b, c</math> is not a coprime pair and mildly generalize the congruence substitution procedure for building [[balanced]] words to obtain non-balanced but still more "even" scales with simple [[generator sequence]] expressions (in the sense of being binary, i.e. using only two distinct generators). | Originally developed by Inthar for the purpose of adding [[aberrisma]] steps in an orderly manner to a MOS pattern <math>a\mathbf{L}b\mathbf{m}</math> (which we write in place of <math>a\mathbf{L}b\mathbf{s}</math> for convenience's sake, since <math>\mathbf{s}</math> denotes the new aberrisma steps added to the MOS) in the context of groundfault's [[aberrismic theory]], MOS substitution is intended to take advantage of extra potential symmetry when <math>a, c</math> or <math>b, c</math> is not a coprime pair and mildly generalize the congruence substitution procedure for building [[balanced]] words to obtain non-balanced but still more "even" scales with simple [[generator sequence]] expressions (in the sense of being binary, i.e. using only two distinct generators). | ||
