The 43 notes become a 41 note schismic MOS, with duplicates exactly
where
you expect them. Wilson showed this. You get the same 41 note MOS
with
either the Exposition of Monophony or Genesis 43 note scales.

I've responded to thi sin responding to an earlier message. In
summary:

There are actually two schismic mappings from Wilson. One has two
overloads (-2 holes or 2 free electrons), the other has 20 holes.
Miracle-45 has 2 holes. I find overloads unacceptable and 20 holes is
too many.

Why do you find overloads
unacceptable?

Well if Partch really wanted those two notes to be separate, who are
we to say they have to share a key. Or else one of them ends up
somewhere else such that it doesn't fit the standard chord patterns
for the keyboard mapping.
