I would suppose the May scale comes from Timothy May, but am unable to source it. The earliest references to the May scale that I can find do not sound like Tim's distinctive style.
Posted by James A Donald at June 1, 2011 03:28 AMNo, it comes from JP May, an entrepreneur from the halcyon days of the first gold currency rush, 1998 - 2005 or so. I'm not sure what he's doing these days, but his insights changed the landscape in this and other ways.
Curiously, it also took me a long time to find it!
