correct Archytas diminished fifth — it's based on 64/45, not 36/25.
Line 9: Line 9:
* (Meantone) 1/1 ‒ [[6/5]] ‒ [[36/25]] ‒ [[9/5]]
* (Meantone) 1/1 ‒ [[6/5]] ‒ [[36/25]] ‒ [[9/5]]


In [[archytas]] temperament, which [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[64/63]], a ~[[16/9]] minor seventh is equated with ~[[7/4]], a ~36/25 diminished fifth is equated with ~[[7/5]], and the ratio between ~7/4 and ~6/5 is equated with a ~[[3/2]] perfect fifth, yielding a [[9-odd-limit]] [[essentially tempered chord]]:
