7 steps of 10ed2 closely approximates the 13th harmonic. The 13th harmonic is close to acoustic phi. If we divide acoustic phi into 7 steps, then 10 of those steps gets us close to an octave.
Various equal divisions of the octave have close approximations of [[acoustic phi]], or <math>φ</math>, ≈833.090296357¢.
 
If the <math>m^{th}</math> step of <math>n</math><span>ed2 is a close approximation of <math>φ</math>, the <math>n^{th}</math> step of <math>m</math><span>ed<math>φ</math> will be a close approximation of 2.
 
For example, the 7th step of 10ed2 is 840¢, and the 10th step of 7ed<math>φ</math> is ≈1190.128995¢.
As another example, the 9th step of 13ed2 is ≈830.7692308¢, and the 13th step of [[9edϕ|9ed<math>φ</math>]] is ≈1203.35265¢.
 
Such <math>m</math><span>ed<math>φ</math> are interesting as variants of their respective <math>n</math><span>ed<math>2</math><span>, introducing some combination tone powers.

A couple such scales can be found in the [[Scala Scale Archive|Huygens-Fokker Foundation's Scala scale archive]]. They were described by Walter O'Connell in his 1993 paper [http://anaphoria.com/oconnell.pdf The Tonality of the Golden Section]. The 18th root of φ scale doubles the resolution of the 9th root scale featured above, as so as the 9th root of φ scale is similar to 13ed2 the 18th root of φ scale is similar to 26edo (which does a notably better job of approximating 3-, 5-, and 7- limit harmonies).
