23edo is significant in that it is the last edo that has no [[5L 2s|diatonic]] perfect fifths and not even [[5edo]] or [[7edo]] fifths. It is also the last edo that fails to approximate the [[3/1|3rd]], [[5/1|5th]], [[7/1|7th]], and [[11/1|11th]] [[harmonic]]s within 20 cents, which makes it well-suited for musicians seeking to explore harmonic territory that is unusual even for the average microtonalist. Oddly, despite the fact that it fails to approximate these harmonics, it approximates the intervals between them ([[5/3]], [[7/3]], [[11/3]], [[7/5]], [[11/5]], [[11/7]]) and combinations of them ([[15/8]], [[21/16]], [[33/32]], [[35/32]], [[55/32]], [[77/64]]) very well. The lowest harmonics well-approximated by 23edo are [[9/1|9]], [[13/1|13]], [[15/1|15]], [[17/1|17]], [[21/1|21]], [[23/1|23]], [[31/1|31]], [[33/1|33]] and [[35/1|35]].


<b>23-TET</b>, or <b>23-EDO</b>, is a tempered musical system which divides the [[octave]] into 23 equal parts of approximately 52.173913 cents, which is also called with the neologism Icositriphony ''(Icositrifonía)''. It has good approximations for [[5/3]], [[11/7]], 13 and 17, allowing it to represent the 2.5/3.11/7.13.17 [[just intonation subgroup]]. If to this subgroup is added the commas of [[17-limit]] [[46edo]], the larger 17-limit [[k*N_subgroups|2*23 subgroup]] 2.9.15.21.33.13.17 is obtained. This is the largest subgroup on which 23 has the same tuning and commas as does 17-limit·46edo, and may be regarded as a basis for analyzing the harmony of 23-EDO so far, as approximations to just intervals goes. 23edo is the 9th [[prime numbers|prime]] edo, following [[19edo]] and coming before [[29edo]].
=== Mapping ===
As with [[9edo]], [[16edo]], and [[25edo]], one way to treat 23edo is as a tuning of the [[mavila]] temperament, tempering out the "comma" of [[135/128]] and equating three acute [[4/3]]'s with 5/1 (related to the Armodue system). This means mapping "[[3/2]]" to 13 degrees of 23, and results in a 7-note [[2L 5s|antidiatonic]] scale of 3–3–4–3–3–3–4 (in steps of 23edo), which extends to a 9-note [[7L 2s|superdiatonic]] scale (3–3–3–1–3–3–3–3–1). One can notate 23edo using the [[Armodue]] system, but just like notating 17edo with familiar diatonic notation, flats will be lower in pitch than enharmonic sharps, because in 23edo, the "Armodue 6th" is sharper than it is in 16edo, just like the diatonic 5th in 17edo is sharper than in 12edo. In other words, 2b is lower in pitch than 1#, just like how in 17edo Eb is lower than D#.


23-EDO was proposed by ethnomusicologist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_von_Hornbostel Erich von Hornbostel] as the result of continuing a circle of "blown" fifths of ~678-cent fifths that (he argued) resulted from "overblowing" a bamboo pipe.
However, one can also map 3/2 to 14 degrees of 23edo without significantly increasing the error, taking us to a [[7-limit]] temperament where two broad 3/2's equals 7/3, meaning 28/27 is tempered out, and six 4/3's octave-reduced equals 5/4, meaning 4096/3645 is tempered out. Both of these are very large commas, so this is not at all an accurate temperament, but it is related to [[13edo]] and [[18edo]] and produces [[mos scale]]s of 5 and 8 notes: 5–5–4–5–4 ([[3L 2s|antipentic]]) and 4–1–4–1–4–4–1–4 (the "quartertone" version of the [[Easley Blackwood Jr.|Blackwood]]/[[Paul Rapoport|Rapoport]]/[[Erv Wilson|Wilson]] 13edo "subminor" scale). Alternatively we can treat this temperament as a 2.9.21 subgroup, and instead of calling 9 degrees of 23edo a sub-"4/3", we can call it 21/16. Here three 21/16's gets us to 9/4, meaning 1029/1024 is tempered out. This allows us to treat a triad of 0–4–9 degrees of 23edo as an approximation to 16:18:21, and 0–5–9 as 1/(16:18:21); both of these triads are abundant in the 8-note mos scale.


23-EDO is also significant in that it is the largest EDO that fails to approximate the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 11th harmonics within 20 cents, which makes it well-suited for musicians seeking to explore harmonic territory that is unusual even for the average microtonalist. Oddly, despite the fact that it fails to approximate these harmonics, it approximates the intervals between them (5/3, 7/3, 11/3, 7/5, 11/7, and 11/5) very well. The lowest harmonics well-approximated by 23-EDO are 9, 13, 15, 17, 21, and 23. See [[Harmony of 23edo|here]] for more details. Also note that some approximations can be improved by [[23edo and octave stretching|octave stretching]].
23edo has good approximations for [[5/3]], [[11/7]], 13 and 17, among many others, allowing it to represent the 2.5/3.11/7.13.17 [[just intonation subgroup]]. If to this subgroup is added the commas of no-19's [[23-limit]] [[46edo]], the larger no-19's 23-limit [[k*N subgroups|2*23 subgroup]] 2.9.15.21.33.13.17.23 is obtained. This is the largest subgroup on which 23 has the same tuning and commas as does no-19's 23-limit 46edo, and may be regarded as a basis for analyzing the harmony of 23edo so far, as approximations to just intervals goes. If one dares to take advantage of this harmony by using 23edo as a period, you get [[icositritonic]], a [[23rd-octave temperaments|23rd-octave temperament]], so that the harmony of 23edo is adequately explained by what harmonies you can achieve using only periods and zero generators.


As with[[9edo| 9-EDO]], [[16edo|16-EDO]], and [[25edo|25-EDO]], one way to treat 23-EDO is as a Pelogic temperament, tempering out the "comma" of 135/128 and equating three 'acute [[4/3]]'s with 5/1 (related to the Armodue system). This means mapping '[[3/2]]' to 13 degrees of 23, and results in a 7 notes [[2L 5s|Anti-diatonic scale]] of 3 3 4 3 3 3 4 (in steps of 23-EDO), which extends to 9 notes [[7L 2s|Superdiatonic scale]] (3 3 3 1 3 3 3 3 1). One can notate 23-EDO using the Armodue system, but just like notating 17-EDO with familiar diatonic notation, flats will be lower in pitch than enharmonic sharps, because in 23-EDO, the "Armodue 6th" is sharper than it is in 16-EDO, just like the Diatonic 5th in 17-EDO is sharper than in 12-EDO. In other words, 2b is lower in pitch than 1#, just like how in 17-EDO, Eb is lower than D#.
See ''[[Harmony of 23edo]]'' for more details.  


However, one can also map 3/2 to 14 degrees of 23-EDO without significantly increasing the error, taking us to a [[7-limit]] temperament where two 'broad 3/2's equals 7/3, meaning 28/27 is tempered out, and six 4/3's octave-reduced equals 5/4, meaning 4096/3645 is tempered out. Both of these are very large commas, so this is not at all an accurate temperament, but it is related to [[13edo|13-EDO]] and [[18edo|18-EDO]] and produces [[MOSScales|MOS scales]] of 5 and 8 notes: 5 5 4 5 4 (the [[3L 2s|"anti-pentatonic"]]) and 4 1 4 1 4 4 1 4 (the "quarter-tone" version of the Blackwood/[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Rapoport_%28music_critic%29 Rapoport]/Wilson 13-EDO "subminor" scale). Alternatively we can treat this temperament as a 2.9.21 subgroup, and instead of calling 9 degrees of 23-EDO a Sub-"4/3", we can call it 21/16. Here three 21/16's gets us to 9/4, meaning 1029/1024 is tempered out. This allows us to treat a triad of 0-4-9 degrees of 23-EDO as an approximation to 16:18:21, and 0-5-9 as 1/(16:18:21); both of these triads are abundant in the 8-note MOS scale.

=== Octave stretch ===
Some approximations can be improved by octave stretching. See ''[[23edo and octave stretching]]'' for more details.
 
=== Subsets and supersets ===
23edo is the 9th [[prime edo]], following [[19edo]] and coming before [[29edo]], so it does not contain any nontrivial subset edos, though it contains [[23ed4]]. 46edo, which doubles it, considerably improves most of its approximations of lower harmonics.

23edo can be notated with conventional notation, including the staff, note names, relative notation, etc. in two ways. The first preserves the <u>melodic</u> meaning of sharp/flat, major/minor and aug/dim, in that sharp is higher pitched than flat, and major/aug is wider than minor/dim. The disadvantage to this approach is that conventional interval arithmetic no longer works. e.g. M2 + M2 isn't M3, and D + M2 isn't E. Chord names are different because C - E - G isn't P1 - M3 - P5.
====Second-best fifth notation====
This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as EDOs [[30edo#Sagittal notation|30]], [[37edo#Sagittal notation|37]], and [[44edo#Sagittal notation|44]].


The second approach preserves the <u>harmonic</u> meaning of sharp/flat, major/minor and aug/dim, in that the former is always further fifthwards on the chain of fifths than the latter. Sharp is lower in pitch than flat, and major/aug is narrower than minor/dim. While this approach may seem bizarre at first, interval arithmetic and chord names work as usual. Furthermore, conventional 12edo music can be directly translated to 23edo "on the fly".

While [[35edo]] is the largest edo without a nondegenerate [[5L 2s]] scale, it has both degenerate cases (the equalised 7edo and the collapsed 5edo).
23edo is the largest edo without any form of 5L 2s, including the degenerate cases.

I would argue that the most significant modes of 23 edo are those of the 2 2 2 3 2 2 3 2 2 3 scale ([[3L 7s|3L 7s fair mosh]]); This is derived from extending the ~1/3 comma tempered 13th Harmonic, two of which add up to the 21st harmonic and three add up to the 17th harmonic almost perfectly. Interestingly, the chord 8:13:21:34 is a fragment of the fibonacci sequence.
