At the heart of this process is the musical scale—a designed object that quantizes pitch into structures capable of generating and fulfilling expectation. A survey of the world’s scales reveals five core design features and a single overarching dimension of enculturation, ranging from deeply familiar tonal systems to entirely novel sonic environments.
