53edo's [[circle of fifths|circle of 53 fifths]] can be bent into a [[spiral chart|12-spoked "spiral of fifths"]]. This is possible because 31\53 is on the 7\12 kite in the [[scale tree]]. Stated another way, it is possible because the absolute value of 53edo's [[sharpness#dodeca-sharpness|dodeca-sharpness]] (edosteps per [[Pythagorean comma]]) is 1.  
53edo's [[circle of fifths|circle of 53 fifths]] can be bent into a [[spiral chart|12-spoked "spiral of fifths"]]. This makes sense to do because going up by 12 fifths results in the Pythagorean comma (by definition), which is mapped to one edostep and is thus also the syntonic and septimal comma, introducing a simple second accidental in the form of the arrow to reach useful intervals from the basic 12-chromatic scale. The one-edostep comma is a requirement in Kite's theory, and implies that 31\53 is on the 7\12 kite in the [[scale tree]].  


This "spiral of fifths" can be a useful construct for introducing 53edo to musicians unfamiliar with microtonal music. It may help composers and musicians to make visual sense of the notation, and to understand what size of a jump is likely to land them where compared to 12edo.

Note that the high primes, in [[rooted]] (/2<sup>''n''</sup>) position, essentially act as alternate interpretations of [[LCJI]] intervals, if you want to force a rooted interpretation; namely: [[71/64]] as ~[[10/9]], [[73/64]] as ~[[8/7]], [[79/64]] as ~[[16/13]], and perhaps most questionably in the context of 53edo, [[83/64]] as ~[[13/10]].
