Modally, the highest to lowest entropy scale degrees (unison = 1) are: | |||
* 2 and 7 (equally): .99 bits | |||
* 4 and 5 (equally): .86 bits | |||
* 3 and 6 (equally): .59 bits | |||
If a scale degree is high entropy it tends to be the most informative on average; the modes that have this interval as major and minor respectively are roughly a 50-50 split. This tells us that unlike in the diatonic scale, thirds and sixths are the ''least'' informative in distinguishing smitonic modes. On the other hand, seconds, fourths and sevenths are highly informative. | |||
