This relationship to Ben Johnston's notation is sloppy bs as Ben Johnston's notation is never intended to be used for tempered systems. Modulation is a composing technique that has nothing to do with notation.

Rhodium is a rank-2 temperament which splits the octave into 45 parts and has a generator that is mapped to 55/32. It is named after the 45th element by Eliora in 2023.

As a weak extension of the ennealimmal temperament, rhodium has the same mapping as ennealimmal in the 7-limit – 27/25 for 1\9, 7/6 for 2\9, 63/50 for third-octave and 49/36 for 4\9. However, it also provides a mapping of the Alpharabian quarter-tone 33/32 to 2\45 and thereby also tempers out the quartisma. Since rhodium tempers out 4225/4224, a single period is mapped to an interval that stands both for ~66/65 and ~65/64 and two of them make 33/32, and ten thus make 7/6.

1665edo is the optimal patent val for rhodium both in the 11-limit and in the 13-limit. Other notable equal temperaments which support rhodium include 270edo and 1395edo, which are zeta edos, and 1125edo, which while is not zeta, is still a multiple of 45 consistent in the 15-odd-limit.
