-'''Pseudo-semaphore''' is a weird temperament in which the third harmonic does not have a single consistent mapping. If you want to force it into the regular mapping paradigm you have to think of it as a 2.3.3'.7 temperament.
+'''Pseudo-semaphore''' is a [[dual-fifth]] temperament related to [[semaphore]]. As in all dual-fifth temperaments, the third harmonic has two mappings, in this case a [[flattone]] to [[flattertone]]-sized one and a [[superpyth]] to [[ultrapyth]]-sized one.
-It's called "pseudo-semaphore" because it has the same MOS structure as [[semaphore]], but [[49/48]] is not tempered out. Perhaps it's better to think of it as [[superpyth]] in which the 4/3 generator has been split in half forming a weird interval that's neither [[8/7]] nor [[7/6]].
