Interval lattice

Notation

Sensamagic can be notated the same as 2.3.7 just intonation since they share the same lattice structure.

One way to do this is to take the conventional circle-of-fifths notation with an additional module of accidentals for the 64/63 comma. In this system, 7/4 is a minor seventh, 5/4 an augmented second, and 11/8 a diminished fifth.
