Hi Paul,

Moving this to tuning-math seemed wise--hope you don't mind!

<<Hmm? Those would be the stepsizes for the 12-tone scale in this
series, not the whole series, correct?>>

Right, following the expansion or contraction rules will walk you up
and back in the series. So the stepsizes for the 22-tone scale in this
series would be 81/80 128/125 25/24, and the 2D UVs would be 3125/3072
and 2048/2025.

There's probably one more, if you take a look at the lattice.

Why don't you make a quick-and-dirty periodicity-revealing lattice
for the 12- and 22-tone scales that result in the "Tribonacci" system?

Right--the 250/243 "major chroma". I think I can do this without the
lattice, in fact that's the whole point!

Well seeing it on a lattice would convince us of this . . .
