Re: 7 and 5 steps in the higher-degree scales...

>But that still seems like a circular explanation to me. The "5th" and
"4th" *don't* contain 7 and 5 steps in the
higher-degree scales such as 19, 31, etc.

(19/O)*F,f=11:8... 31=18:13...*

I believe (though that's mostly just a guess) that eight would be the only
number that has the same "(n*O)+/-f,+/-F [where "O" is 8, "f" is 3, and "F"
is 5] resulting in a(endless?) sequence of two numbers that are either prime
or a product of primes >/= f and F" property that twelve has...(?)

*This sequence:

F f
\ /
--------------
O
/ | \
O+f | O+F
/ | \
...2*O...

would be good through (most) anyone's idea of a utilitarian n-tET...
