On the Origin of MOS Recursion

MOS recursion describes a set of properties that all moment-of-symmetry scales share that allows us to create a few algorithms for determining whether an arbitrary scale of large and small steps has those properties.

The child scale of a MOS follows a distinct pattern in which the large step breaks up into the next large step and the next small step (in some order) and the small step becomes either the next large step or the next small step. As such, we can represent it as a pair of replacement rules:
