The others are magic from -9 to 12, orwell from -4 to 17 and porcupine from -8 to 13. By forming the 5x5 matrix whose first row is v1, the patent val for 22 equal, and whose other rows are pajara∨2, magic∨2, orwell∨2 and porcupine∨2, inverting, transposing, and multiplying by 22, we obtain a matrix whose rows are the monzos for 2, 385/384, 176/175, 100/99 and 224/225 respectively. Taking the monzo matrix for 36/35, 385/384, 175/176, 100/99 and 224/225, inverting and transposing, we obtain [<22 35 51 62 76|, <12 19 28 34 42|, <3 5 7 9 10|, <9 14 21 25 31|, <7 11 16 20 24|].

Starting from our example 22 note per octave scale, we can produce a list of 22 steps: 33/32, 512/495, 33/32, 45/44, 25/24, 128/125, 25/24, 33/32, 128/125, 25/24, 45/44, 28/27, 36/35, 33/32, 512/495, 33/32, 80/77, 49/48, 33/32, 80/77, 77/75, 80/77. We can apply the four wedgies for pajara, magic, orwell and porcupine to these steps to obtain four abstract temperament MOS, each of which has two kinds of steps, expressed as vals. If a = -<10 16 23 28 34| and b = <12 19 28 34 42|, then pajara applied to the steps gives abababaabababababaabab. If c = -<3 5 7 9 10| and d = <19 30 44 53 66|, then magic gives cccdccccccdccccccdcccc. | Starting from our example 22 note per octave scale, we can produce a list of 22 steps: 33/32, 512/495, 33/32, 45/44, 25/24, 128/125, 25/24, 33/32, 128/125, 25/24, 45/44, 28/27, 36/35, 33/32, 512/495, 33/32, 80/77, 49/48, 33/32, 80/77, 77/75, 80/77.

By taking product words, we get not only the Fokker block itself, but also the various temperings in the associated temperaments. Here "product" means product in a quite literal sense, since these can be construed as wedge product words. | ||
