128/81 is the Pythagorean minor sixth, created by stacking four instances of 4/3 and octave-reducing. In contrast to the more typical 8/5—with which it is conflated in meantone—this interval has a harmonic entropy level roughly on par with that of 12/11. Thus, some would argue that it is functionally an imperfect dissonance.
