Division of 3/2 into equal parts does not necessarily imply directly using this interval as an [[equivalence]]. Many, though not all, EDF scales have a perceptually important [[Pseudo-octave|false octave]], with various degrees of accuracy.

Arguments for the utility of 3/2 as a base - whether an equivalence or just a [[period]] - are its being one of the strongest [[consonance]]s after the [[octave]], as well as its use to ~~fork~~ structurally important [[pentachord]]s in many musical traditions past and present.

Perhaps the first to divide the perfect fifth was [[Wendy Carlos]] ([http://www.wendycarlos.com/resources/pitch.html ''Three Asymmetric divisions of the octave'']). [[Carlo Serafini]] has also made much use of the alpha, beta and gamma scales.
