We’ll be returning to these values regularly, so for convenience, we’ll refer to them as ''isotopes'' of their respective metallic mean, e.g. <span><math>δ_s - 1</math></span> is the first isotope of the silver mean (and we’ll make no claim as to the scientific appropriateness of this analogy). | We’ll be returning to these values regularly, so for convenience, we’ll refer to them as ''isotopes'' of their respective metallic mean, e.g. <span><math>δ_s - 1</math></span> is the first isotope of the silver mean (and we’ll make no claim as to the scientific appropriateness of this analogy). | ||
Only isotopes greater than 1 find new generators; more on this later. | Only isotopes greater than <span><math>1</math></span> find new generators; more on this later. | ||
Isotopes theoretically could be formed by adding 1 repeatedly to each mean, instead of subtracting, but these also do not find new generators, and for simplicity we’ll not be considering these to be isotopes at all for our purposes here. | Isotopes theoretically could be formed by adding <span><math>1</math></span> repeatedly to each mean, instead of subtracting, but these also do not find new generators, and for simplicity we’ll not be considering these to be isotopes at all for our purposes here. | ||
