~~'''2 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''2edo''') is the [[tuning system]] derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 2 equal steps of 600 [[cent]]s each.~~

== Theory ==

The 600{{c}} step of 2edo is the familiar [[tritone]] of [[12edo]], and corresponds to [[Sqrt(2/1)|<math>\sqrt{2} \approx 1.414</math>]] as a frequency ratio. It is the first [[edo]] that can be considered to have a [[prime number]] of divisions and the first proper edo, since 1 is not a prime number due to having only itself as a factor and dividing by it returns the same number. It is the first [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning #Zeta EDO lists|zeta integral edo]] and the first [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning #Zeta EDO lists|zeta gap edo]], and, in addition, it is also a [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning #Zeta EDO lists|zeta peak edo]], though 2edo is not the first to have this property, with that distinction instead going to [[1edo]].

~~The 600 cents step of 2edo corresponds to <math>\sqrt{2} \approx 1.414</math> as a frequency ratio.~~

=== Structural properties ===

The harmony that is found in 2edo can be said to revolve around Tonic-Antitonic contrast, with the note at 600 ~~cents~~ away from the Tonic having a function akin to 12edo's diminished fifth. In addition, the full versions of the Antitonic chords of the two possible keys of 2edo are inversions of one another, which can lead to modulations. Furthermore, 2edo can also be used to give a skeletonized version of the 3-limit music such as was used in Medieval Europe, by mapping the fifth and therefore the fourth to 600 ~~cents~~.

The harmony that is found in 2edo can be said to revolve around Tonic-Antitonic contrast, with the note at 600{{c}} away from the Tonic having a function akin to [[12edo]]'s diminished fifth. In addition, the full versions of the Antitonic chords of the two possible keys of 2edo are inversions of one another, which can lead to modulations. Furthermore, 2edo can also be used to give a skeletonized version of the 3-limit music such as was used in Medieval Europe, by mapping the fifth and therefore the fourth to 600{{c}}.

The mapping of both [[3/2]] and [[4/3]] to the unison, as happens in the patent val, means that 2edo tempers out [[9/8]], and thus supports [[Very low accuracy temperaments#Antitonic|antitonic]]- a temperament named based on the functionality of the 600 cent interval relative to the Tonic. In fact, it even supports both the 7-limit and 11-limit extensions of antitonic as it also tempers out both [[15/14]] and [[12/11]] respectively. However, the significance of 9/8 in particular being less than half the size of a single step should not be underestimated, as because of this, 2edo is the first EDO to demonstrate 3-to-2 [[telicity]]. Given this, it's no surprise that 2edo represents the [[3-limit]] [[consistent]]ly. If we treat [[5/4]] the same way as [[81/64]]- which is mapped to the unison courtesy of the tempering of 9/8- we end up with the val {{~~val~~|2 ~~3 4~~}} ~~(2c mapping). This could be used to crush all of the 5 out of 5-limit music, and to then attempt to turn what remains into neo-Medieval harmony.~~

=== Prime harmonics ===

== ~~Factoids about 2edo~~ ==

=== In regular temperament theory ===

* It is the ~~first~~ [[~~The_Riemann_Zeta_Function_and_Tuning#Zeta EDO lists~~|~~zeta integral edo~~]] and the ~~first~~ [[~~The_Riemann_Zeta_Function_and_Tuning~~#~~Zeta EDO lists~~|~~zeta gap edo~~]]

The mapping of both [[3/2]] and [[4/3]] to the 600-cent tritone, as occurs in the [[patent val]] {{Val| 2 3 5 }}, means that 2edo tempers out [[9/8]], and thus [[support]]s the [[Very low accuracy temperaments #Antitonic|antitonic]] temperament—an [[exotemperament]] named based on the functionality of the 600{{C}} interval relative to the Tonic. In fact, it even supports the canonical [[extension]] of antitonic to the [[7-limit|7-]] and [[11-limit]]s, since it also tempers out [[15/14]] and [[12/11]]. Since 9/8 is less than half the size of a single step, 2edo is the first [[Trivial temperament|non-trivial]] edo to demonstrate 3-to-2 [[telicity]], thus giving a "good" representation of the [[3-limit]]. Given this, it is no surprise that 2edo is [[consistent]] to the [[3-odd-limit]]; in fact, every edo is consistent to the 3-odd-limit, since 3/2 and 4/3 are mapped to their nearest steps by patent val in any edo. However, 2edo is not consistent to the [[5-odd-limit]], since [[6/5]] is mapped to the unison by patent val, while it is slightly closer to the 600{{C}} tritone (6/5 ≈ 316{{C}} in [[JI]]). The smallest edo that is consistent to the 5-odd-limit is [[3edo]].

~~:* It is~~ also a [[~~The_Riemann_Zeta_Function_and_Tuning#Zeta EDO lists|zeta peak edo~~]], ~~though~~ 2edo is ~~not~~ the first ~~EDO~~ to ~~have~~ this ~~property~~, ~~with~~ that ~~distinction instead going~~ to [[~~1edo~~]].

* 99/70 is [[~~Nearest just interval|a good rational representation~~]] of the ~~square root of 2~~.

== ~~Music~~ ==

If we instead temper out [[81/80]] and treat [[5/4]] the same way as [[81/64]], which is mapped to the unison courtesy of the tempering of 9/8, we end up with the [[val]] {{val| 2 3 4 }} ([[Wart notation|2c]] mapping). This could be used to crush all of the 5 out of 5-limit music, and to then attempt to turn what remains into neo-Medieval harmony.
