Tuning System Characteristic Heirarchical Table/Flow Chart?

I was wondering if there is a table or flow chart
available online which shows the heirarchization
of various tuning system characteristics like
symmetrical/asymetrical, EDO/non-EDO, etc.

Thanks.

Hi Bill,

I'm not sure what you mean by "hierarchization" - would
you mind explaining a little?

Do you perhaps mean which concepts are subordinate to
others? If so, wouldn't that be a matter of logic that
followed from your definitions of the terms? If you
agree that's a sensible approach, would you please define
the terms that interest you?

Regards,
Yahya

Well, for instance, an EDO tuning is of a higher
logical type, because it contains both asymmetrical
and symmetrical subscales within it, whereas
asymmetrical tunings most likely don't contain
any symmetrical subscales, and a non-EDO symmetrical
tuning only allows one symmetrical scale, whereas
an EDO tuning allows many symmetrical sub-scales.
