=== | === PWF implies the alternating-gens (AG) property (except in the case xyxzxyx) === | ||
We now prove that except in the case xyxzxyx, if the scale is pairwise well-formed, the scale is generated by two chains of generators, either both of size ''m'' or one with size ''m'' and one of size ''m-1'' (AG) Equivalently, the scale can be built by stacking alternating generators, resulting in a circle of the form either g1 g2 ... g1 g2 g1 g3 or g1 g2 ... g1 g2 g3. | We now prove that except in the case xyxzxyx, if the scale is pairwise well-formed, the scale is generated by two chains of generators, either both of size ''m'' or one with size ''m'' and one of size ''m-1'' (AG) Equivalently, the scale can be built by stacking alternating generators, resulting in a circle of the form either g1 g2 ... g1 g2 g1 g3 or g1 g2 ... g1 g2 g3. | ||
