Description:
It seems likely Lerdahl's point here is that intervals proceed gradually from small frequency ratios to larger frequency ones rather than suddenly. The classic Just diatonic scale does this and, to a lesser extent, so does the Pythagorean scale.


The Argument for Equal temperament

This is one of the constraints that Lerdahl acknowledges "... can be variously jettisoned.", which certainly seems plausible given that people presumably did enjoy music before equal temperament came into practice.
