Abstract

This paper presents a study on the hierarchical modular system (HMS). It shows how to generate the HMS by using the principle of extreme physical information. It also discusses the equal temperament music scale that has many shared properties with the HMS.

Key words： hierarchical modular system (HMS); extreme physical information (EPI); equal temperament; denomination; city population
