Subject: Re: Acceptance regions

From: Gene Ward Smith

It occurs to me we aren't getting a triangular region, we are getting
a  quadrant and then sawing off a corner using the badness cutoff
line, so we have an unbounded region. It acts like it's bounded
because we can only get so far when trying simultaneously for small
error and small compexity, but no error and no complexity is down at
-infinity, -infinity. This makes the idea of using an ellipse pretty
dubious; a parabolic region might make more sense.

It was just a suggestion. I wrote "perhaps we should" and "e.g.". What does "=(" mean? I'm guessing you think it's a bad idea. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yahoo!

It should be a new list based on that complexity measure. The list should agree with the complexity measure. Otherwise things will be missing.

To come up with a list of temperaments which would not change even if our cutoff criterion were to be altered by a fair amount.

I thought these moats were gerrymandered, so how is that going to work? Anyway, isn't it more important to have a list with the good stuff on it, moat or no moat?

That's obviously the starting point.

Without a moat, there would be questionable cases, of "if those are in, why isn't this in" and "if those are out, why isn't this out".

Subject: A 41-limit temperament

From: Gene Ward Smith

The 140&171 7-limit temperament has a 311-et generator of 20/311;
extending that to the 41-limit gives a mapping of


[<1, 3, 2, 3, -4, 1, 1, 11, -3, 1, 11, 0, 6|, 
<0, -22, 5, -3, 116, 42, 48, -105, 117, 60, -94, 81, -10|]

An LLL-reduced basis is

{703/702, 784/783, 875/874, 1000/999, 1625/1624, 1729/1728, 8092/8073,
10557/10556, 68921/68894, 177023/177008, 11670750/11648281}

With a moat, there might be a question of why you are using a seemingly unmotivated, ad hoc criterion. Maybe we could formalize it to a similarity circle or something that could be justified?

You know what (1) is. I thought you just posted something about doing (2) & (4) by leaving out the 2-terms in a certain formula. Here:
>For any set of consonances C we want to do an rms optimization for, >we can find a corresponding Euclidean norm on the val space (or >octave-excluding subspace if we are interested in the odd limit) by >taking the sum of terms > >(c2 x2 + c3 x3 + ... + cp xp)^2 > >for each monzo |c2 c3 ... cp> in C. If we want something corresponded >to weighted optimization we would add weights, and if we wanted the >odd limit, the consonances in C can be restricted to quotients of odd >integers,
In (2) I mean the tuning that gives minimax error over all odd-limit consonances (try the 9-limit). As far as weighting for this, I'd try the usual Tenney weighting as in (1), and Paul's odd-limit weighting suggestions:
>>> Now what if we apply 'odd-limit-weighting' to each of the intervals, >>> including 9:3 which is treated as having an odd-limit of 9? Try >>> using 'odd-limit' plus-or-minus 1 or 1/2 too. >>

For (4) it's the tuning that gives minimum rms error over the 9-limit consonances. All weighting suggestions apply. For (3) it's the tuning that gives minimum rms over all intervals with Tenney weighting as in (1).

Subject: 126 7-limit linears

From: Gene Ward Smith

I first made a candidate list by the kitchen sink method:

(1) All pairs n,m<=200 of standard vals

(2) All pairs n,m<=200 of TOP vals

(3) All pairs 100<=n,m<400 of standard vals

(4) All pairs 100<=n,m<=400 of TOP vals

(5) Generators of standard vals up to 100

(6) Generators of certain nonstandard vals up to 100

(7) Pairs of commas from Paul's list of relative error < 0.06,
epimericity < 0.5

(8) Pairs of vals with consistent badness figure < 1.5 up to 5000

This lead to a list of 32201 candidate wedgies, most of which of
course were incredible garbage. I then accepted everything with a 2.8
exponent badness less than 10000, where error is TOP error and
complexity is our mysterious L1 TOP complexity. I did not do any
cutting off for either error or complexity, figuring people could
decide how to do that for themselves. The first six systems are
macrotemperaments of dubious utility, number 7 is the {15/14, 25/24}
temperament, and 8 and 9 are the beep-ennealimmal pair, and number 13
is father. After ennealimmal, we don't get back into the micros until
number 46; if we wanted to avoid going there we can cutoff at 4000.
Number 46, incidentally, has TM basis {2401/2400, 65625/65536} and is
covered by 140, 171, 202 and 311; the last is interesting because of
the peculiar talents of 311.

And the reason why we care about moats is? ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yahoo!

Subject: 23 "pro-moated" 7-limit linear temps, L_1 complex.(was: Re: 126 7-limit linears)

From: Paul Erlich

Since there's a huge empty gap between complexity ~25+ and ~31, I was 
forced to look for a lower-complexity moat (probably a good thing 
anyway). I'll upload a graph showing the temperaments indicated by 
their ranking according to error/8.125 + complexity/25, since I saw a 
reasonable linear moat where this measure equals 1. Twenty 
temperaments make it in:

1. Huygens meantone
2. Semisixths
3. Magic
4. Pajara
5. Tripletone
6. Superpythagorean
7. Negri
8. Kleismic
9. Hemifourths
10. Dominant Seventh
11. [598.4467109, 162.3159606],[[2, 4, 6, 7], [0, -3, -5, -5]]
12. Orwell
13. Injera
14. Miracle
15. Schismic
16. Flattone
17. Supermajor seconds
18. 1/12 oct. period, 25 cent generator (we discussed this years ago)
19. Nonkleismic
20. Porcupine

If we allow the moat to be slightly concave, we would include:

26. Diminished
29. Augmented

A bit more concavity still and we include

45. Blackwood

Roughly: the two commas in addition to two other basis vectors will span the 4-dimensional system (only if the four vectors are linearly independent). If you temper out the two commas, the remaining two basis vectors will form a basis for the entire resulting system of pitches, which we therefore regard as two-dimensional.

It seems this isn't a basis for the whole temperament; it has 3-torsion. I need to find non-cube products which are cubes, and take the cube root

A correct LLL reduced basis for the temperament is {6290/6279, 714/713, 820/819, 1015/1014, 1105/1104, 1365/1364, 2002/2001, 2146/2145, 2185/2184, 16530/16523, 4060/4059} 4000/3993 is zero steps of 311, one step of 140, and 385/384 is one step of 311, zero steps of 140; adding the correct one of these gives us a basis for 311 or 140, and adding both gives us a "notation". This one has three different versions of 87-et, which seems excessive, but it does easily allow us to compute a 311 Fokker block (I just did it, so I know its easy) in case anyone is tired of piddling around with tiny 11-limit scales of size 43 or so. That 6290/6279 is not very nice, so maybe that could be reduced. An ambitious person might want to TM reduce the whole thing. Booting it would give us a planar temperament, in case anyone knows what to do with a 41-limit planar.

Subject: Ennealimmal[45] as a chord block

From: Gene Ward Smith

The major chord with root 21/20 is [0,2,0] in the 7-limit chord
lattice, that with root 2401/2400 is [2,-3,-3], and that with
4375/4374 is [6,-6,-3]. If I form the block in the lattice centered at
[0,0,0] and with the inverse matrix coordinates running -1 < coordinat
<= 1, I get a block with 127 chords, consisting of 191 notes. Reducing
this by ennealimmal gives Ennealimmal[45]. Below is a TM reduced JI
scale corresponding to Ennealimmal[45] which people with an aversion
to tempering could use instead, not to mention people who just plain
like the idea. Sticking it in Scala shows 7 of the 18 major tetrads
are very slightly tempered, and the other 11 are pure JI. In the case
of minor tetrads, we have eight tempered ones, and ten untempered. The
maximum error is 2401/2400, or 0.721 cents, in both cases.

We also have 27 supermajor and 18 subminor tetrads, defined as 
1--9/7--3/2--9/5 and 1--7/6--3/2--5/3 (or 6:7:9:10 for those who
prefer.) Twelve supermajor and eight subminor tetrads are tempered.
Finding ways of harmonizing things is apparently not a problem.

Given that we normally relate error and complexity multiplicitively, I think using log(err) and log(complexity) makes far more sense. Can you justify using them additively? I might be more willing to believe in this stuff if it made some logical sense to me, but maybe I am just strange.
