3L 3s, named triwood, is an octave-equivalent moment of symmetry scale containing 3 large steps and 3 small steps, with a period of 1 large step and 1 small step that repeats every 400¢, or 3 times every octave. Modes of this scale are rotations of the step pattern LsLsLs. Generators that produce this scale range from 200¢ to 400¢, or from 0¢ to 200¢.
The true MOS is LsLsLs but interesting near-MOSs include LLsLss and LLssLs. The MOS is always proper but the other forms are only proper if the generator is larger than 1\9 of an octave (so not augmented).
Out of all proper six-note MOS scales, this augmented scale probably has the lowest harmonic entropy.
