Sounds like a neat idea to me.

As I found from analysing the j.i. adaptive puzzle, one can easily end up
with pairs of notes forced to be a 81/80 diesis apart, or other dieses,
so makes sense to have two or more pitch classes for them, rather than
to try to compress / stretch chords to make them into one note, and could
give more freedom overall to get purer chords.

That could be possible without any overall comma pump drift, e.g. if
you've just got one comma pump that is kind of disconnected from
the chords before it and after it, or two in opposite directions,
then one might even have no force acting against the springs at
all at that point, could end up totally relaxed into more than
12 pitch classes (??).

Worth trying anyway...

Can we hear this at some point, when it's ready?
