Among open systems, the most important kinds are [[periodic scale]]s and group systems. The latter refers to "groups" in the mathematical sense of {{w|Abelian group|abelian groups}}, and means that you are always allowed to invert intervals, and that given any two intervals, you may combine them. Examples of group systems are all positive real numbers under multiplication, regarded as frequencies in hertz; all real numbers under addition, regarded as intervals in cents; all positive rational numbers, regarded as intervals from a chosen [[1/1]]; all rational numbers in a given [[harmonic limit]]; all intervals in a [[just intonation subgroup]]; and all intervals in a [[regular temperament]]. | Among open systems, the most important kinds are [[periodic scale]]s and group systems.
