The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

A dedecatonic (12-note) scale borrowed from the overtone series:

12/12, 13/12, 14/12, 15/12, 16/12, 17/12, 18/12, 19/12, 20/12, 21/12, 22/12, 23/12, 24/12

which reduces to:

1/1, 13/12, 7/6, 5/4, 4/3, 17/12, 3/2, 19/12, 5/3, 7/4, 11/6, 23/12, 2/1

in cents:

0, 139, 267, 386, 498, 603, 702, 796, 884, 969, 1049, 1126, 1200

intervals between adjacent steps gradually get smaller, as is usual for overtone chunks like this:

13:12, 14:13, 15:14, 16:15, 17:16, 18:17, 19:18, 21:20, 22:21, 23:22, 24:23
= in cents:
139, 128, 119, 112, 105, 99, 94, 89, 84, 81, 77, 74

==modes== 

For your tuning pleasure, all 12 modes. Note that the names "C", "C#", refer to a keyboard mapping that begins the scale on C. Such a mapping & naming system are, I admit, quite arbitrary.
