Ok.... try it this way.

Aolian, Dorian etc etc., what are each of those pattern things refered to as? Are each of them called a different scale or a different mode?

When you get a group of all seven of them together - what is that refered to as?

- and therefore, is it always true that there are always seven of each of those 'Aolian' type things in every group of them and if so, how is it refered to in musical terms?

Or is that whole thinking totally screwed up.
