This interval is a ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers, therefore it approximates the [[golden ratio]], specifically [[acoustic phi]]. In this case, 21/13 is ~2.8 [[cent|¢]] flat of the golden ratio.

21/13, the tridecimal supraminor sixth, is ca. 830 cents in size. It has a very good approximation in 13edo (and in 5ed11).

This interval is a ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers and thus a convergent to acoustic phi (the interval of a golden ratio). In this case, 21/13 is ~2.8 ¢ flat of acoustic phi. It differs from 13/8, the previous such convergent, by 169/168, and from the following convergent 34/21 by 442/441.
