14afdo (arithmetic frequency division of the octave), or 14odo (otonal division of the octave), divides the octave into 14 parts of 1/14 each. As a scale it may be known as mode 14 of the harmonic series or the Over-14 scale.
Theory
The esoteric Factor 9 grid scale is a mode of 14afdo starting on the 11th step from the tonic, of which 12 or 13 notes were conveniently selected for "A = 432 Hz" conspiracy purposes. 14afdo cocntains supraminor and supermajor triads above the root.
