A 22 TONE 11 LIMIT CONSTANT STRUCTURE FORMED FROM A SPECIAL HEXANY STELLATION METHOD

This 22 tone scale of Wilson's believed to be from 1967 was found in a series of papers, charts and scales based  stellating Hexanies in  i have not seen before. One particular method resulted in the example below which seems to form the core of the scale above. Wilson took the 1-3-7-11 hexany and stellated it with 5 and /5 to complete the 8 basic triads found within which results in the 14 tone structure to the left. The result of this type of stellation has unexpected results. for instance 4 other hexanies are formed each which occurs twice.  All involve the added 5 plus three factors of the 1,3,7,11 set.  Because of the relationship of most of the added pitches to this stellate being 3/2 above and below, to form this 22 tone scale. 4 more hexanies also appear. The result is one of many 22 tone scales that contain a great variety of compact hexany subsets.

Constant Structures

Wilson's note on Constant Structures to John Chalmers 1965
Here is one of Wilson's earliest mention of the subject of Constant Structures. This page is apart of a document looking at 3 22 tones scales. Thanks to John Chalmers for making this available sometime back from his collection that is still being archived.
