[tuning-math] The chord-generator approach to Miracle and Orwell

The simplest generators for a chain of chords, in terms of the cubic
lattice picture, are [1 0 0], [0 1 0] and [0 0 1]. If we take a chain of
two of these, and look at the corresponding note, or in other words at
the roots of the chords 
[2 0 0], [0 2 0] and [0 0 2] we obtain 35/24, 21/20 and 15/14
respectively. From (15/14)^2/(8/7) = 225/224 and
(3/2)/(8/7)^3 = 1029/1024 we see that tempering a chain of chords with
generator [0 0 1] via Miracle is a likely plan.
Similarly, from (21/20)^2/(10/9) = (21/20)^3/(7/6) = 4000/3969, it would
seem the planar temperament defined by 4000/3969 works well with the
chords generated by [0 1 0]. One approach to this is to add 245/243 or
2401/2400 to the mix, and obtain the linear temperament with wedgie [8 18
11 -25 5 10], which is covered by 41 and 68, and has a generator of about
21/20. Finally, from (15/7)/(35/24)^2 = 1728/1715 and (28/9)/(35/24)^3 =
6144/6125, it would seem Orwell is a good choice for tempering the chain
of chords defined by [1 0 0].

Below I give scales derived from chains of generators of size 1 to 15, in
72-et (for [0 0 1]), 68-et (for [0 1 0]) and 84-et 
(for [1 0 0]). It should be noted that eventually, these all produce
MOS--Blackjack for 72-et, the 22-note Orwell MOS, and a 27-note 5/68 MOS.
