Fair enough. A sketch that a mathematician can follow. But that seems
a long way from "teach a man to fish". The musicians will only be
relying on the lists we give (and Graham's finder).

This seems to be the key statement of this thread.  I don't think
this has been established.  If it had, I'd be all for it.  But it
seems instead that whenever you cut out temperament T, somebody
could come along and do something with T that would make you wish
you hadn't have cut it.  Therefore it seems logical to use something
that allows a comparison of temperaments in any range (like logflat).
Then no matter what T is, we can say...

"You could have used U, which is in the same range but better."

...or...

"T's the best in that range.  Bravo!"

...The worst that could happen would seem to be...

"T falls outside the range we established for our paper, sorry."

...in which case the reader could perform his own analysis in the
above way.  With a cooked acceptance region, however, the following
could happen...

"Oh, T.  It didn't meet our guesses about human cognition, but YMMV."

Huh; I thought I just saw you and Gene agreeing that a badness bound
alone does return a finite list of temperaments.

In 3-D we have ball, but I'm not aware of a corresponding
term for 2-D.  Disk?

Oh, ... yes I'm aware my proposal doesn't include a region
of safety.  I think it's nice but it isn't a must-have for me.

Again, you'll have to bear with my tendency for hyperbole.
I don't consider specifically circular curvature to be part
of the circle suggestion.  This goes without saying for me,
but I can see how it might not for person X.

I think maximum hyperbole is the ideal way to use natural
languages, but I really should learn to back it up with
examples.

Good idea.

I've only ever read The Integral Trees, which was Niven-only IIRC (I
was just a lad).  Oh, and a funny analysis of Superman's powers when
I was a bit older.  Anyway "moat" makes sense because it is a region
of safety.  If only you had explained (or I noticed) this sooner!

If you followed the discussion, you'd see that the only reason this 
happened was that your list of 126 was too thin in the high-
complexity region to find a moat; otherwise ennealimmal might well 
have made it in. Rather than assuming ill intentions on the part of 
everyone else, try slowing down and taking a few extra moments to 
survey the writings of those who are painstakingly working on this 
stuff, rather than firing off a knee-jerk reaction upon a sorely 
incomplete impression.

But if it's done quantitatively? Dave said he was unable to find a 
better moat according to his *quantitative* measure; perhaps it's 
possible to verify this computationally?

In terms of having your inclusion list be insensitive to a fair range 
of variation in the inclusion criterion? If so, I'm all ears.

I thought I had a way to fudge it by adding a constant later,

I already answered that.

Howso?  They're both base2 logs of fixed units.  You mean c is
arbitrary in y = x + c?  Selecting an "origin" effectively fixes c.

Oh, in the kernel means tempered out (right?) giving neutral
thirds.  So it isn't immediately obvious why 81:80 throws 5:4
and 6:5 on the same scale degree (always thirds?). . .

We _did_ start there, some years ago, and have been there ever since.
What I don't understand is the resistance to moving on, and finding
something that's approximately representative of human musical
interest in these things.

And if you mean it's a good function to modify to obtain the latter,
then that's fine. Every smooth cutoff function that Paul or Carl or I
have proposed so far (and almost certainly any that might be proposed
in the future) are tangent to log-flat badness. What more could you ask?

Yes, what Paul said is technically wrong. But that doesn't alter the
fact that we don't experience mistuning pain as anything like
log(cents). Cents is already log(frequency).

I think we can safely forget about that one.

I think that was _convex_ hull. That's just the smallest convex shape
that encloses a set of points - a polygon with the "outermost" points
as its vertices. I think it goes without saying that we would never
exclude a temperament that was inside the convex hull of the included
temperaments. Although not as formalised (yet), moats can be
considered as taking the convex hull idea a little further, by
including not only those _inside_ the convex hull but also those
_close_ to the outside of it, and insisting that the hull is not only
convex, but smooth.

Right, exactly as I said, but as I also said, you get a lot of 
emphasis on high-error temperaments, and I know Dave would be very 
unhappy with that.

I can't understand your reasoning there. I'd love to consider it if

Sure, but we can show a graph of where the temperaments occur in the 
space, and of course provide the necessary math, so that further 
expansion can be explored by the reader.

It might not. And we're not suggesting any "goodness" measure which 
is applicable to both 5-limit and 7-limit systems of any respective 
dimensionalities. But we are suggesting something similar be used in 
each of the Pascal's triangle of cases, which seems logical. If it's 
wrong, it's wrong, and there goes the premise of our paper. But it's 
a theory paper, not an edict. I think if the criteria we use are 
easily grasped and well justified, we will have done a great job 
publishing something truly pioneering and valuable as fodder for 
experimentation.

Gene, please understand that at least a few of us would love nothing
more than to be able to follow your posts, but it isn't necessarily
any easier to do it than it is for you to follow our posts.  In fact,
it's probably harder.

I've been thinking about it for years, and mostly supporting it. It's 
just that I think Dave and Graham should both be in on this, and we 
were going to lose Dave entirely if we didn't at least try to address 
his objections. I'm hoping this process will continue, whenever Dave 
gets back.

I feel like Shaw in Monty Python's 'Oscar Wilde' sketch. :-)

Monty Python's Oscar Wilde Sketch *

I'm afraid I lost the thread and don't have time to pick it up.

I'm guessing ennealimmal is so complex and so close to 7-limit JI that
most musicians would happily use the two interchangeably without
noticing. Is that something we could test?

I don't see how the fact that x/612ths of an octave is a fine way to
tune the ennealimmal generator has any bearing on the musical
usefulness of 612-ET _as_an_ET_. One can't hear the difference between
ennealimmal tuned as a subset of 612-ET and tuned with an
ever-so-slightly different generator that is an irrational fraction of
an octave.

Of all the amazing things I've seen on these lists, the failure of
both you and Paul to understand the meaning of "micro-biased" is
possibly the most amazing.
