The name was coined by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]]. Pseudo-MOSes are simpler in structure than other ternary scales, because they are simply a [[stretched tuning|compressed]] MOS scale with a pure octave at the end. However, importantly, the modes of a pseudo-MOS scale are not always pseudo-MOS (even if other pseudo-MOSes can be created from different modes of the original scale), and pseudo-MOS scales are not necessarily [[MV3]]. There is a distinction that is required between a pseudo-MOS's modes and the pseudo-MOS versions of the original MOS's modes, thus CompactStar has coined ''pseudo-modes'' for the latter. A pseudo-MOS scale exhibits [[Rothenberg propriety]] provided the MOS scale without the small step is proper.

[[Pinedye]] (5L 2m 1s) is the "pseudo-diatonic scale" and it is a simple example of pseudo-MOS scale. Not all 5L 2m 1s patterns are considered a pseudo-MOS, including the only one which is conditionally MV3, as it is not a diatonic mode with a small step at the end. In groundfalt's aberrismic theory, the small step of pinedye represents an [[81/80]] commatic inflection in the 5-limit untempered interpretation.
