And how about JI? Or do you just arbitrarily leave that series off 
your Pascal's triangle? If it works for all temperaments of all 
dimensions, it certainly has to work for JI.

First principles seems fine insofar as there's nothing arbitrary and 
also no flagrant disagreement with known reality. Personally, I don't 
advocate using badness at all.

Yes, it's the L1 norm of the *monzo-wedgie* in the Tenney lattice. In 
other words, it's the 'taxicab area' of the (nontorsional) vanishing 
bivector, something which seems to give three times the number of 
notes in the 5-limit ET case.

Well, I tried applying it to 5-limit linear, and posted a few 
results, but even fewer looked 'creepy', unfortunately.

First of all, what is the real name for creepy complexity?  L1?

Second of all, since I do not know how to calculate it (as far as
I can tell the details are lost in a myriad of messages between
you and Gene), I was unaware it was undefined for these cases.

The units in all cases should be notes.  We just need a way to
compare a slice with a tube, etc.

Think scales.  What relations, if any, do we expect, for n
notes, as lim goes up:

() More dyads or fewer dyads?
() More complete chords or less complete chords?

Which triangle are you talking about? I thought you were talking 
about the one formed by using one of Gene's log-flat badness cutoffs 
by itself, without any complexity or error cutoffs.

Macros?

Anyway, since you brought up the inevitability of scales in the 
thread earlier, I'd encourage you to continue with that line of 
thought.

Well hopefully you're aware of Dave's current position.

Is that what you meant by macros above? I think Dave is saying the 
opposite now, saying that temperaments should be included only if we 
use enough of the relevant pitches to really necessitate the 
particular temperament, and that seems to imply the use of scales 
associated specifically with that temperament, at least if we use 
your open-ended idea of "scales".

I also call Paul Hahn's complexity in the symmetrical triangular

What do you mean by 'Element style flying taxicabs' here? I thought 
the cabs drive only on the routes, as normal.

These are clearly not ETs, since the complexity of an ET is nearly 
identical to the number of notes.

As the name indicates, these are 7-limit linear temperaments, 23 of 
them within a 'moat', and the red line is formed by raising each of 
complexity and error (after some scaling) to the 2/3 power, adding, 
and setting equal to a constant. Dave and I had already looked at ETs 
and 5-limit linear temperaments . . .

How did you find this graph? My original post which mentioned it 
named the linear temperaments that these numbers index, and then I 
later gave the first three components of their wedgies for Gene.

Yes, but I should think ideally we'd figure out how to normalize
in some way to bring this whole business back to scales.

Great!  Don't forget to mention that the number tells the number
of elements in the wedgie.  This should go on form chart.

log(n/d)
--------
log(n*d)

is one log divided by another log, hence a "ratio of logs". It 
doesn't matter what base you use, you get the same answer.

Relative scaling would be, for example, what one inch represents on 
one of the axes, vs. what it represents on the other axis.

What's "the above", exactly? y = x + c? This is the equation of a 
line, which intersects the y-axis at c, and the x-axis at -c.

So what's the 'hole', and what is apparently empty?

With lower error? No, but you'd never know for sure just from looking

Yes.

I explained what I was doing with the complexity stuff, but these 
complexity differences are very minor. My questions about this were 
never answered, but you can look again at "Attn: Gene 2" to see how 
it makes sense in the 3-limit (where complexity is proportional to 
the number of TOP notes per acoustical octave, so the map matters 
slightly).

Ok, but you're saying there isn't.  And we've gone down to 1 note,
and if the complexity variations are slight that means the triangle
is empty, as opposed to enclosing an infinite number of temperaments.

Ultimately if we can't show a relation to notes in scales
we've gone off the deep end.

With so-called Graham complexity, as you grow the scale
you get nothing, nothing, nothing, then boom, 2 complete
chords.  Then every note you add after than gives you
another pair of chords.  Thus, Graham complexity seems
important.

Likewise, Herman was onto something with his consintency
range thing.

It looks a little different on loglog but loglog's not a total deal-

Form-form complement? Never heard of it.

I think so.

That's right.

Paul's Dave-approved list of 23 7-limit temperaments...

This looks reasonable.  Let's go back to the top 23 from Gene's 114...

>Number 1 Ennealimmal
>Number 2 Meantone
>Number 3 Magic
>Number 4 Beep
>Number 5 Augmented
>Number 6 Pajara
>Number 7 Dominant Seventh
>Number 8 Schismic

>Number 11 Hemiwuerschmidt

>Number 15 Semisixths

>Number 19 Pelogic
>Number 20 Parakleismic
>Number 21 {21/20, 28/27}
>Number 22 Injera
>Number 23 Dicot

...also reasonable.  Assuming names are synchronized (hemififths=
hemifourths?, meantone=huygens?, etc), here's the intersection of
these lists in Paul order...

>1. Huygens meantone
>2. Pajara
>3. Magic
>4. Semisixths
>5. Dominant Seventh
>11. Injera
>12. Miracle
>14. Orwell
>15. Diminished
>16. Schismic
>17. Augmented
>20. Blackwood

Here's the intersection in Gene order...

>Number 2 Meantone
>Number 3 Magic
>Number 5 Augmented
>Number 6 Pajara
>Number 7 Dominant Seventh
>Number 8 Schismic
>Number 9 Miracle
>Number 10 Orwell
>Number 14 Blackwood
>Number 15 Semisixths
>Number 17 Diminished
>Number 22 Injera

Agreement is on 12 temperaments, and fairly well on order.
Schismic, augmented and Blackwood seem to be the greatest
order disputes.  Ennealimmal, beep, tripletone, negri and
kleismic seem to be the greatest omission disputes.
