3afdo (arithmetic frequency division of the octave), or 3odo (otonal division of the octave), if the attempt is made to use it as an actual tuning system, would divide the octave into three arithmetically equal parts. It is a superset of 2afdo and a subset of 4afdo. It is the first nontrivial afdo since it is the first afdo to demonstrate chirality. Its inverse is 3ifdo. As a scale it may also be known as mode 3 of the harmonic series or the Over-3 scale. The notes of this afdo form a 3:4:5 triad (first rotation of the just major triad) on root position.
