Top-20 Methodology

To generalize from Top-10 to Top-20, we maintain structural bucketing but add rank robustness and psychoacoustic interpretability.

Composite ranking

\(S = w_1 S_{structure} + w_2 S_{coverage} + w_3 S_{chord\_balance} + w_4 S_{emotion\_range}\)

Where chord balance rewards consistent behavior across all 24 triads and emotion range rewards expressive spread without pathological extremes.

Uncertainty

\(CI_{95\%}(S)=\bar S \pm 1.96\,\sigma_{bootstrap}\)

Bootstrap sampling over temperaments in each bucket prevents over-trusting a single representative.
