m Proof of CS by linearity: removed an irrelevant line i forgot to remove
Line 55: Line 55:


Because the CS property means that every occurrence of an interval must occur with the same number of steps, it suffices to show that every one-step interval is mapped by an appropriate [[val]] to one step. The proof of this is as follows.

For convenience and clarity I will use some specific terminology here, even if the terminology is not fully standard or accurate. This is just to assist in communicating clearly.


Consider an ''n''-note [[periodic scale]] with period an octave as being defined by a function '''f('''''k''''') : Z -> Q<sub>>0</sub>''' with '''f('''''nk''''') = 2'''<sup>''k''</sup>.
