Alison, Gene, Paul, et al: The diagram is wrong; somehow the 3.7 and 5.7 got
transposed. If there is ever a second edition, I'll try to correct the
labelling. The union of oppposite vertices must contain all four factors of the
generating tetrad of the hexany.

Email me if you have any other questions.

HUGE sigh of relief and thanks to all who helped. I will have more questions on "Divisions" as I'm
trying to design a Just Intonation system of tunings around related pentatonics, tetrachords,
hexanies and possibly eikosanies.
