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.
