== Mathematical definition ==
Concoctic scales appear to only exist in composite EDOs.
The length of a maximum evenness scale's generator can be determined through a '''modular multiplicative inverse''' of the note amount and the tuning size<ref>https://individual.utoronto.ca/kalendis/leap/index.htm</ref>:


As a direct consequence of the definition, L + s = gen\EDO.
a*x ≡ 1 (mod N),
 
where N is the period, and a is the note count. Therefore, a concoctic scale is defined for a given N:
 
a*a ≡ 1 (mod N),
 
which becomes
 
a^2 ≡ 1 (mod N).
 
Paraconcoctic scales are those, which in a pure sense are the octave inversions of one another. For example, a {7/10}'s generator is 3, and of {3/10} is 7. Since octave-inverting the MOS generator has no impact on the scale, paraconcoctic scales are identical to their usual counterparts. However, the difference is pronounced in keyboard making - in paraconcoctic scales, white keys' generator will be the amount of black keys and vice versa.
