Hello Margo!
Perhaps we have covered this before, but thought i would provide a some referances to Wilson thinking of scales with large/small intervals related by Phi.
there are two that come to mind right off and perhaps i am missing others first
http://www.anaphoria.com/key.PDF
shows two ways each of the primary keyboards can be used with such type of intervals. they are ;abe;ed gold.
Also the horograms come to mind http://www.anaphoria.com/hrgm.PDF in that they quicky converge on such large small relationships being gold .
Also the horograms are easily expandable and directly relate to the scale tree, hence a better example.
