84edo shares the [[3/2|perfect fifth]] with [[12edo]], [[tempering out]] the [[Pythagorean comma]] in its [[patent val]]. In the [[5-limit]] it tempers out the [[sensipent comma]]; in the [[7-limit]] [[225/224]], [[1728/1715]], [[2430/2401]], [[6144/6125]], [[support]]ing [[orwell]], [[compton]], and [[sensei]].  
84edo shares the [[3/2|perfect fifth]] with [[12edo]], [[tempering out]] the [[Pythagorean comma]] in its [[patent val]]. In the [[5-limit]] it tempers out the [[sensipent comma]]; in the [[7-limit]] [[225/224]], [[1728/1715]], [[2430/2401]], [[6144/6125]], [[support]]ing [[orwell]], [[compton]], and [[sensei]]. In the [[13-limit]] it is the [[optimal patent val]] for the rank-5 temperament tempering out [[144/143]].  


84edo is where the orwell temperament takes its name from, since the generator of [[7/6]] is equal to 19 steps of the edo, referencing the [[Wikipedia: Nineteen Eighty-Four|book 1984]]. Orwell in 84edo comes in two varieties—the 84e val {{val| 84 133 195 236 '''290''' }}, supporting the original orwell, and its [[patent val]] {{val| 84 133 195 236 '''291''' }} supporting [[newspeak]]. 84edo orwell offers [[mos scale]]s of size 9, 13, 22, and 31, of which the 31-note scale is the [[maximal evenness]] scale.

It has fairly good approximation to higher [[prime harmonic]]s such as [[13/1|13]], [[19/1|19]], [[23/1|23]], [[29/1|29]], and [[31/1|31]]. In fact, it is [[consistent]] to the no-11 no-17 [[25-odd-limit]]. In the [[13-limit]] it is the [[optimal patent val]] for the rank-5 temperament tempering out [[144/143]].

84edo has fairly good approximation to higher [[prime harmonic]]s such as [[13/1|13]], [[19/1|19]], [[23/1|23]], [[29/1|29]], [[31/1|31]], 41, 43, 53, 59, 61, 73 and 89, so that it is for its size very performant for much of the 61-limit, with more off primes usually being sharp so that they can cancel opportunistically with other sharp harmonics. In fact, it is [[consistent]] in the no-11 no-17 no-27 no-37 no-47 no-49 no-51 no-55 65-odd-limit excepting only 1 inconsistent pair, 45/43 and 86/45, which are inconsistent by ~0.13{{cent}} (off by ~7.3{{cent}}), offering a truly vast inventory of harmony to draw from that has mostly been unexplored. This is especially true because its approximation powers do not end there: prime 11, due to its simplicity (and thus lesser tuning fidelity), is certainly usable (just causes some inconsistencies), and there are higher primes that are reasonably in-tune too when supported by context. The only missing primes are thus 17, 37, 47, 67, 71, 79 and 83, which except for 17 are all about 6 cents sharp, similar to the sharpness of prime 11, so that it somewhat makes up for these omissions by having a very accurate 22:37:47:67:71:79:83 chord, to which various additions are possible (though usually increasing the error as a result).

84 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 84edo or 84ed2), also called 84-tone equal temperament (84tet) or 84 equal temperament (84et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 84 equal parts of about 14.3 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/84, or the 84th root of 2.

Theory

84edo shares the perfect fifth with 12edo, tempering out the Pythagorean comma in its patent val. In the 5-limit it tempers out the sensipent comma; in the 7-limit 225/224, 1728/1715, 2430/2401, 6144/6125, supporting orwell, compton, and sensei. In the 13-limit it is the optimal patent val for the rank-5 temperament tempering out 144/143.

84edo is where the orwell temperament takes its name from, since the generator of 7/6 is equal to 19 steps of the edo, referencing the book 1984. Orwell in 84edo comes in two varieties—the 84e val ⟨84 133 195 236 290], supporting the original orwell, and its patent val ⟨84 133 195 236 291] supporting newspeak. 84edo orwell offers mos scales of size 9, 13, 22, and 31, of which the 31-note scale is the maximal evenness scale.

Subsets and supersets

84 is a largely composite number. Since 84 factors as 22 × 3 × 7, 84edo has subset edos 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42. Being a small multiple of 28, it tempers out the oquatonic comma, which maps 5/4 to 9\28.

Higher-limit JI

84edo has fairly good approximation to higher prime harmonics such as 13, 19, 23, 29, 31, 41, 43, 53, 59, 61, 73 and 89, so that it is for its size very performant for much of the 61-limit, with more off primes usually being sharp so that they can cancel opportunistically with other sharp harmonics. In fact, it is consistent in the no-11 no-17 no-27 no-37 no-47 no-49 no-51 no-55 65-odd-limit excepting only 1 inconsistent pair, 45/43 and 86/45, which are inconsistent by ~0.13 ¢ (off by ~7.3 ¢), offering a truly vast inventory of harmony to draw from that has mostly been unexplored. This is especially true because its approximation powers do not end there: prime 11, due to its simplicity (and thus lesser tuning fidelity), is certainly usable (just causes some inconsistencies), and there are higher primes that are reasonably in-tune too when supported by context. The only missing primes are thus 17, 37, 47, 67, 71, 79 and 83, which except for 17 are all about 6 cents sharp, similar to the sharpness of prime 11, so that it somewhat makes up for these omissions by having a very accurate 22:37:47:67:71:79:83 chord, to which various additions are possible (though usually increasing the error as a result).
