Iterative method of construction of good rhythms

Abstract

On the space of rhythms of arbitrary length with a fixed number of onsets, a self map $F$ is constructed. It is shown that for any rhythm $\mathbf{r}$ of the space there exists a nonnegative integer $k$ such that $F^k(\mathbf{r})$ falls into the category of "maximally even rhythms" investigated in [1].
