'''Rodan''' is a [[regular temperament|temperament]] of the [[gamelismic clan]] and one of the notable [[extension]]s to [[slendric]]. Like slendric, it is generated by an [[8/7]], three of which gives [[3/2]]. In addition it finds [[5/1|harmonic 5]] at +17 generator steps, and the second defining comma for it is [[245/243]].

Reasonable tunings would be between [[41edo]] and [[46edo]]. [[87edo]] makes for a very recommendable option.  
'''Rodan''' is one of the notable [[extension]]s of the [[slendric]] [[regular temperament|temperament]], which divides [[3/2]] into three equal intervals representing [[8/7]] ([[tempering out]] the gamelisma, [[1029/1024]]), reaching the full [[7-limit]] such that 17 of these [[generators]] [[stacking|stack]] to reach the interval class of the [[5/1|5th harmonic]]. It tempers out [[245/243]], making it a [[sensamagic clan|sensamagic temperament]], so that [[5/3]] is divided into two intervals of [[9/7]]; and it tempers out [[5120/5103]], making it also a [[hemifamity temperaments|hemifamity temperament]], so that [[9/8]] stacks thrice into [[10/7]].
 
Unlike [[mothra]], which flattens the fifth to a [[meantone]] fifth, the fifth of rodan is slightly sharp of just, ranging from that of [[41edo]] to that of [[46edo]] (with [[87edo]] being an essentially optimal tuning). As a result, the [[256/243|diatonic minor second]] is compressed, and the interval known as the [[quark]], which represents [[49/48]], [[64/63]], and in rodan also [[81/80]], is even smaller than it is in tunings of slendric with a nearly just fifth. This entails that the [[mos scale]]s of rodan [[cluster MOS|cluster]] even more strongly around [[5edo]], although this can be thought of as an advantage in that it simplifies the conceptualization of rodan's inventory of intervals (see [[#As a detemperament of 5et]]). Rather than directly using mos scales, which are either extremely imbalanced or overly large, an approach to rodan may involve picking and choosing which intervals from each [[pentatonic]] category to keep in the scale.
 
As can be elucidated by [[S-expression]]s, rodan is very much an "opposed counterpart" to mothra: the basic equivalence of slendric tempers S7 (49/48) = S8 (64/63), and mothra proceeds to equate it to S6 ([[36/35]]) as well; meanwhile, rodan extends the equivalence in the opposite direction to add S9 (81/80) to it, making it one of the five [[rank-2 temperament]]s definable by equating three adjacent square superparticulars.
 
As for further extensions, slendric temperaments often find [[55/32]] at 4 generator steps (tempering out [[385/384]] and [[441/440]]), giving new interpretations to the quark as [[55/54]] and [[56/55]]; 55/32 is particularly accurate in the tuning subrange appropriate for rodan, and so [[11/1|harmonic 11]] can easily be found at -13 generator steps. It is also worth mentioning that this equates the diatonic major third to [[14/11]], tempering out [[896/891]]. A [[2.3.7.11 subgroup]] version of rodan, known as ''radon'', uses exclusively this mapping and forgoes interpreting the 5th harmonic.
 
Toward the [[13-limit]], the diatonic minor third ([[32/27]]) in hemifamity temperaments represents the square root of [[7/5]], for which [[13/11]] is a good interpretation (tempering out [[352/351]] and [[847/845]]), which turns out to place [[13/1|harmonic 13]] at -22 generator steps. Finally, [[17/13]] is a good interpretation of the slendric subfourth comprising two generators, otherwise equated to [[21/16]] (tempering out [[273/272]] and [[833/832]]), and this places [[17/1|harmonic 17]] at -20 generator steps. Thus proceeds the canonical extension of rodan out to the [[17-limit]].

== Interval chain ==
== Interval chain ==
When speaking of interval categories, as an extension of slendric it is possible to use a system [[Slendric#Interval categories|designed for slendric]], where notes are inflected from the diatonic [[chain of fifths]] by means of the prefixes "super" and "sub", such that three of these inflections stack to a diatonic minor second. These "super" and "sub" prefixes are equivalent to "up" and "down" in [[#Notation|the notation]] system, but can disambiguate from "up" and "down" symbols from [[ups and downs notation]] in the context of larger rodan edos that map this comma to multiple edosteps.

[[File: Rodan 5et Detempering.png|thumb|Rodan as a 46-tone 5et detempering]]
 
=== As a detemperament of 5et ===
Rodan is naturally a [[detemperament]] of the [[5edo|5 equal temperament]]. The diagram on the right shows a 46-tone detempered scale, with a generator range of -22 to +23. 46 is the largest number of tones for a mos where intervals in the 5 categories do not overlap. Each category is divided into eight or nine qualities separated by 5 generator steps, which represent the syntonic comma.
 
Notice also the little interval between the largest of a category and the smallest of the next, which represents the differences between 16/15 and 14/13, between 11/9 and 16/13, between 7/5 and 45/32, between 13/8 and 18/11, and between 13/7 and 15/8. It spans 41 generator steps, so it vanishes in 41edo, but is tuned to the same size as the quark/syntonic comma in 46edo. 87edo tunes it to one half the size of the syntonic comma, which may be seen as a good compromise.
 
== Chords ==
11-limit rodan contains [[essentially tempered chord]]s of the commas 245/243, 385/384, 441/440, and 896/891. A list of 11-odd-limit [[dyadic chord|dyadically consonant chords]], both essentially tempered and essentially just, can be found at [[Chords of rodan]].

A notation for rodan is listed in the notation guide for rank-2 pergens under [[pergen]] #8, {{nowrap|(P8, P5/3)}}. The generator is an upmajor 2nd. The [[enharmonic unisons in ups and downs notation|enharmonic unison]] is a trudminor 2nd, thus three ups equals a diatonic semitone, and three generators equals a perfect 5th. In rodan in particular, ^1 equals ~81/80 and ~64/63, and ^^1 equals ~33/32 and ~[[1053/1024]].

Rodan's notation has much in common with that for 41edo and 46edo, since both edos map a minor 2nd to three edosteps. It also resembles the notation for [[cassandra]]. All four notations notate the slendric tetrad ({{dash|1, 8/7, 21/16, 3/2|med}}) on C as {{nowrap|C, ^D, vF, G|med}}, and all four notations notate 5/4, 7/4, 11/8, and 13/8 as in the table above. But the notations diverge for other intervals, such as 11/10.
