Hence S satisfies the conditions for being a [[Periodic scale|periodic scale]], and since our unit of measurement is the octave, ie we are using log base two to define intervals, the repetition interval 1 represents an octave. This gives us our first definition of Fokker block.

Note that because any ak can be chosen satisfying 0 &lt; ak &lt; P, each Fokker block comes associated not only with various modes, but also [[Dome|domes]], which are variations on the same basic theme.

The first order of business is to determine if the scale is epimorphic, which it is, with 22 patent val &lt;22 35 51 62|. Using a basis for the Fokker group, for instance the one listed [[Minkowski reduced bases for Fokker groups of certain vals|here]], pajara-magic-porcupine, we find that pajara, porcupine and orwell all temper it to a MOS, so that the scale is a Fokker block. This is enough to prove the original scale is an abstract Fokker block; however, we might want a result in terms of the original 11-limit problem. By solving for the condition that the interior product with each scale step is zero, we find that 176/175 is the unique comma tempered out by the rank-four temperament which tempered to the abstract scale. Adding 176/175 to the commas of pajara, porcupine and orwell leads to the 11-limit versions of each of these. Taking the interior product of the dual scale of bimonzos with each of these 11-limit wedgies leads to the conclusion that each of these temper the abstract scale to a MOS.
