Which symbols?

My paper presents yet another explanation.

Don't follow.

I don't understand -- what does it mean for a scale to be a periodicity
block of "the others"? Anyway the point of this post was to follow up on an
earlier thread relating CS scales to periodicity blocks. I claimed that all
reasonable periodicity blocks are CS; it may also be that all CS scales of
the type Wilson was interested in are periodicity blocks. In other words,
the two concepts may prove equivalent; though certain properties have so far
appeared more obvious in the context of one derivation or the other,
uncovering an equivalence would be a sort of "unificiation" and hence a
great boon for understanding and creating many such scales.
