{{MOS intro|Other Names=anti-oneirotonic}}


'''3L 5s''' or '''sensoid''' (named after the regular temperament [[sensi]]) refers to the structure of octave-equivalent [[MOS]] scales with generators ranging from 1\3 (one degrees of [[3edo]] = 400¢) to 3\8 (three degrees of [[8edo]] = 450¢). In the case of 8edo, L and s are the same size; in the case of 3edo, s becomes so small it disappears (and all that remains are the three equal L's). The pattern is also named ''antioneirotonic'' because it is the [[oneirotonic]] (5L 3s) MOS pattern with large and small steps switched.<!--
== Name ==
[[TAMNAMS]] suggests the temperament-agnostic name '''checkertonic''' for this scale.


There are two significant harmonic entropy minima with this MOS pattern. [[Sensipent_family|Sensi]], in which the generator is 9/7, two of them make 5/3, and seven of them make 6/1, is the proper one. [[Meantone_family#Squares|Squares]], in which the generator is also 9/7, but two of them make 18/11 and five of them make 8/3, is improper.-->

The notation used in this article is JKLMNOPQJ = sLssLsLs (Anti-Ultharian), #/@ = up/down by chroma, N = C4 = 261.6255653 Hz.

{{MOS intervals}}
Parasoft sensoid is the narrow region between 7\19 (442.1¢) and 10\27 (444.4¢). The root-mos5th-mos8th chords usually spell approximate 5:7:9 and 7:10:13 chords (shown in the Anti-Dylathian mode QJKLMNOPQ = ssLssLsL):
* Q M P = ssLs sLs L = 5:7:9
* J N Q = sLss LsL s = the odd one out
* K O J = LssL sLs s = 7:10:13
* L P K = ssLs Lss L = 5:7:9
* M Q L = sLsL ssL s = 7:10:13
* N J M = LsLs sLs s = 7:10:13
* O K N = sLss Lss L = 5:7:9
* P L O = LssL ssL s = 7:10:13

== Theory ==
|-
In contrast to oneirotonic ([[5L&nbsp;3s]]), which often require the usage of completely new chords to have consonant-sounding music, some checkertonic scales contain approximations to a perfect fifth ([[3/2]], usually as a dim. chk6th or maj. chk5th), and thus can be used for traditional root-3rd-P5 harmony.

=== Low harmonic entropy scales ===
| |
There are two significant harmonic entropy minima with this MOS pattern:
| |
 
| |
* [[Sensipent family|Sensi]], in which the generator is a 9/7, two of them make a 5/3, and seven of them make a 3/2, which is proper.
| |
* [[Meantone family #Squares|Squares]], in which the generator is also a 9/7, but two of them make an 18/11 and four of them make a 4/3, which is improper.

3L 5s, named checkertonic in TAMNAMS (also known as anti-oneirotonic), is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 3 large steps and 5 small steps, repeating every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 750 ¢ to 800 ¢, or from 400 ¢ to 450 ¢.

Name

TAMNAMS suggests the temperament-agnostic name checkertonic for this scale.

Notation

The TAMNAMS system is used in this article to refer to 3L 5s step size ratios and step ratio ranges.

The notation used in this article is JKLMNOPQJ = sLssLsLs (Anti-Ultharian), &/@ = up/down by chroma.

Theory

In contrast to oneirotonic (5L 3s), which often require the usage of completely new chords to have consonant-sounding music, some checkertonic scales contain approximations to a perfect fifth (3/2, usually as a dim. chk6th or maj. chk5th), and thus can be used for traditional root-3rd-P5 harmony.

Low harmonic entropy scales

There are two significant harmonic entropy minima with this MOS pattern:

  • Sensi, in which the generator is a 9/7, two of them make a 5/3, and seven of them make a 3/2, which is proper.
  • Squares, in which the generator is also a 9/7, but two of them make an 18/11 and four of them make a 4/3, which is improper.
