So what I'm missing is... the heuristic says temperaments based on this comma will be bad. And indeed, 23, 47 don't seem to be very good. But 12 is good. So what gives? -Carl

As a linear temperament, it isn't very interesting, because its complexity is too high. As a means of tempering 12 notes, it becomes much more interesting. Looking at temperaments dominated (as this one is) by 12 strikes me as worthwhile from that point of view. I think I'll check out this idea of semitones of around 101.5 cents for 12 notes.

This has comma 262144/253125. Once again the generator is about a semitone and five of them give a fourth. This time, however, the semitone is a little smaller than 12-et (about 98.3 cents) and four of them give you a major third. Evidently these two belong together and should get cute matching names.

Is this because there's a T[n] comma associated with stopping at 12? Or...? By the way, what wound up being your favorite complexity measure and why? The last 5-limit list I have from you uses "geometric complexity"... which is... Oh, that's the really hard-to-understand Euclidean distance-on-the-lattice-to-the-comma thing, isn't it?

Such as planar and higher temperaments. But the 'how many notes' complexity obviously generalizes to these as well (in the linear case it's equivalent to Dave/Graham complexity).

I understand that temperaments are abstract Things, but they ultimately must be expressed as scales to be used. If geometric complexity is so good, the T[n] stuff wouldn't have been such a surprise (unless, I suppose, consonances formed by way of the extra "wolf" comma necessarily break consistency -- do they?). In my view, musically complexity has to boil down to 'how many notes get me how many consonances'. Say n/i where n is notes and i is the number of consonant dyads. Dave/Graham get rid of the denominator by standardizing i to 'a complete n-ad' (Dave once showed that for linear temperaments, otonal and utonal n-ads always come in pairs -- I wonder if this is true for planar temperaments...). I suggest we plot n/i for temperament T for all n up to some large number, and report the minima. If this is a bad idea I'd like to know why. -Carl

For an n-et, one can always think of the generators as 1200 and 1200/n. Then it works the same as for linear temperaments. Or isn't that what you do?

Ok, I follow your reasoning but I'm not sure what your conclusion is. I think we'd limit n to the number of notes in the Fokker block. At that n, the complexity would be expected to match the heuristic (for linear temperaments) and geometric complexity (for everything). But when n gets smaller we need a way to quantify what happens. It was probably wrong of me to suggest this be some sort of temperament complexity. And I'm wondering if intervals achieved through use of the "wolf" break consistency, or whatever Gene calls it for regular temperaments.

How do you figure the number of consonant intervals equals the number of notes in the et?

Aha.

Only if you think a comma would be interesting. Or...? There's a historical importance to 12 which is, of course, obvious. There are just two ways to generate a cyclic group of order 12--one gives the fourth/fifth generators we usually focus on, the other is the semitone. Just as with meantone, we can temper 12 notes, or we can allow ourselves to take something written in 12 notes and extend it to more using the temperament; it's an idea worth exploring, at any rate.

These are 5-limit temperaments, so you should concentrate on getting good triads.

For a linear temperament, the number of consonances is (roughly) the
number of notes minus the complexity. So n-i is a constant. If you
then plot n/i, you can replace n with i+c to get (i+c)/i = 1+c/i. As i
tends to infinity, this tends to 1, which is as small as it gets. So
your measure would depend on how large n is allowed to get.
For an equal temperament, n can only ever take one value, and n/i=1.
For a planar temperament, the number of consonance depends on what
generators you choose, and how you construct the scale from them. You
can get more otonal than utonal if you like. Taking 5-limit JI as the
canonical planar scale, C-E-G gives 1 more otonality than utonality.
And C-D-E-G-G#-B has 2 more. But you should get the same value for
complexity whether you use otonal or utonal. If you standardize on a
parallelogram, like C-E-G-B, than you get equal numbers of each chord.
That's assuming you take the fifth and third as generators. With a tone
and semitone, it'd take 5 notes to get 1 triad, and 6 notes to get 1 of
each triad (which gets you 2 of 1 kind). I haven't looked into planar
temperaments yet, so I don't know if there's an obvious way to get the
optimum generators.
I think you still get n/i tends to 1 as n tends to infinity.

Go to Temperament Finder * [with cont.] (Wayb.) and enter 12 and 47 for the ets, and 5 for the limit. That gives you the mapping [(1, 0), (2, -5), (3, -8)] It doesn't show the comma because I don't see the point, and they aren't that easy to calculate for some temperaments. But for the 5-limit case you can work it out from the mapping. It must involve 3**8 and 5**5 with opposite signs, from the octave equivalent mapping (-5, -8). You then multiply (x, 8, -5) by the period part of the mapping to get x + 2*8 - 3*5. For a unison vector, this should be zero, so x = -2*8 + 3*5 = 15-16 = -1. So the comma is (-1 8 -5) or 2**(-1) * 3**8 * 5**(-5) = 6561:6250. There are different tools runnable online at Linear Temperament Finding Home * [with cont.] (Wayb.) and you can get the library for Python, which is free, and play with it as you like. To get commas for a linear temperament as ratios,
>>> map(temper.getRatio, temper.Temperament(12,47,
temper.limit5).getUnisonVectors())
[(6561, 6250)]

In that case, you're turning an et into a linear temperament in an arbitrary way. If you're consistent between ets, it should be the same as taking a fixed proportion of the number of notes to the octave. For comparing equal and linear temperaments it's still arbitrary, and will make ets look more complicated then they are.

You can conclude whatever you like. What Fokker block? Why bring the heuristic into it? Geometric complexity might work, but I don't understand it.
>>For an equal temperament, n can only ever take one value, and >>n/i=1.

I thought consonances were chords. Otherwise, why distinguish otonal and utonal? It makes more sense for planar temperaments anyway. A-B-C-G has all the 5-limit consonances, but no triads. This can't happen with linear temperaments.

I don't know. Would it always work out for a well formed periodicity block? I'd prefer the complexity didn't depend on the tuning.

But tempering adds intervals/notes, which is how you lower complexity. So the tuning has to matter.

I don't suggest anything, I only know the problems. If you're counting steps upwards from the 1/1, then a 4:5:6 chord will be the same size as a 2:3 interval. For a consistent et of n notes to the octave, that means the number of steps you need for a complete triad is the nearest integer to 0.585*n. For an inconsistent et it won't be far off. So for comparing one et to another, you get the same result as comparing the number of steps. For comparing equal with linear temperaments, you get 7-equal having the same complexity as meantone, which is underestimating 7-equal.
> Any temperament can be viewed in terms of Fokker blocks.
Usually an infinite number of them!
>>Why bring the heuristic into it?

It gives you an estimate of something you can calculate exactly. At least, the heuristic I'm thinking of does, but that gives accuracy not complexity.
> I was asking about the o/utonal distinction re. your complexity. > I'm suggesting looking at dyads.
For a linear temperament, the complexity of a chord is always the same as its most complex interval. So it doesn't matter which you look at. For planar temperaments that needn't be the case, but perhaps it will be for sensibly constructed blocks.
> But tempering adds intervals/notes, which is how you lower complexity. > So the tuning has to matter.
I noticed some mention of wolves before, so perhaps this is it. It's
assumed we're dealing with regular temperaments, where the tempering of
each interval is always the same. So even if the tuning happens to give
you some alternative approximations you ignore them. Hence the 5:1 in
meantone is always four fifths, even with a Pythagorean tuning where a
schismic approximation would be closer. If you wanted that, you should
have asked for schismic.
In meantone, a fifth is 1 generator step, a major third is 4 generators
and a minor third is 3 generators. If that's all you need to calculate
the complexity, you don't need the tuning. Most of the complexity
measures for linear temperaments work like this. The exception is the
"smallest MOS" one, because you need some idea of the size of the
generator to know what MOSs are valid. That's a practical problem for a
search algorithm, because it means you have to optimize the tuning for
any given temperament before you can reject it for being too complex.
(Then again, for temperaments defined by a pair of ets, you can get a
list of MOS sizes by working backwards on the scale tree, and this will
always be sufficient if the seed ets are consistent.)
Because a search for planar temperaments is going to be harder, it would
be nice if we could still calculate the complexity independent of
tuning. But perhaps planar temperaments generated from equal
temperaments can always be assigned well formed Fokker blocks without
worrying about the tuning.

There's an error heuristic |n-d|/d*log(d), and a complexity heuristic, log(d).

Right. Gene did a search for scales where the wolf was considered to be another comma. Or something. I'm trying to understand how this fits into the temperament stuff. His results looked like:

Ok, but it implies some kind of non-JI tuning. Maybe I should have said "ignoring commas increases intervals/notes".

That doesn't sound like a very good one. Maybe Gene can prod us to figure out geometric complexity.
