What implications? And what do they have to do with the type of
periodicity blocks you're looking for? Incidentally, by what reasoning did
you figure that all periodicity blocks represent each of their acoustic
intervals by only one scale position?

Paul, perhaps there is still confusion on what CS means. From Kraig's most
recent post, I took it to refer to MOS's that don't change as the generator
size does, ie all 2-tone chains are MOS, the 7-tone chain of fifths is a CS
of the 12, 19, and 31 tone chains of fifths...

-C.

Carl, I take it you've never looked at Erv Wilson's CS scales. Please refer
to Kraig's Wilson Archives. However, the concept you mistakenly took CS to
mean is interesting. Can you explain further?

More intuition than reasoning. Can you find any counterexamples?
