Neji: Difference between revisions

Approaches to neji construction: Moving up "As harmonic segment subsets", stressing that it's a generalization of the original primodal use case which we want to put in the spotlight. Move down "detempering", as detemperings are not a common use for the term "neji".

Detempering: Clarify what sense the word "temperament" is used in.

A more ([[JI subgroup]]) lattice-based approach is [[detempering]]. Detempering entails that the neji has the property of being [[epimorphic]] (obeys the appropriate mapping logic) with respect to a temperament for a tempered scale, equal-division or otherwise. Importantly and nontrivially, this is stricter than merely requiring that the target scale has a ''scale logic'' (that is, a ''[[mapping]]''), as the neji may approximate the target scale without following its associated mapping! (And as aforementioned, the target scale is not ''required'' to have a mapping, although in many cases it does.)
