Scale of the Day: F Lydian augmented 5 mapped to the Triative

FLydianAugmented5MappedToTheTriative

The F Lydian augmented 5 mapped to the Triative Scale. The expanded size of the triative re-mapping brings out the asymmetrical proportions of this scale as an ascending sequence of four 316.99-cent (stretched minor-thirds) upward from the root comes up against a descending sequence of two 316.99-cent intervals with just 158.50-cents between the two blocks of "stretched minor-thirds." Here, that 158.50-cent interval is notated as an augmented unison -which strikes me as an unfortunate enharmonic spelling and an example of how standard notation practice begins to break down under triative-based harmonic systems.
