What is this

This page is linked from 31edo main article. It's unclear what the point of this is to me. Is a sprial progression a generic thing and the given progression is an example of it? Or is this exact progression called the spiral progression? I feel like it's not high enough importance to be linked from the 31edo page.

I think that spiral progression is a generic thing and this page lists a specific type of it. Other examples of spiral progressions show up in, for instance, 159edo using 5\159 as the interval in question. Suffice to say that spiral progressions are a specific type of progression that enables you to modulate downwards or upwards by an interval that's approximately equal to one third of a ~16/15 interval, and 31edo just so happens to provide a decent example of it. Does this make sense? Regardless, this is a musical compositional technique that should be noted. --Aura (talk) 04:40, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
