What on earth is the hypotenuse scale. I googled it and all you get are maths and computing related hits... Its not a scale with three notes, where the frequency of one note equals the root of the the sum of both of the squares of the the frequencies of the other two notes. Is it?

And the communist scale? Are you sure he isn't just making these up?
