This indirectly means that the [[Symbiotic comma|salozo]], [[Wilschisma|sathoyo]], [[Olympia|salururu]], [[Garischisma|sasaru]], [[Argyria|lolotrizo]] commas, among an infinitude more, are all nullified too.

The chain of fifths is a very important framework historically. It's been in Western music THE way to think about everything all the way from plainchant to Renaissance meantone temperaments to the modern day – where the 12-pitch-class circle of fifths is taught; 12edo remains a massively over-represented tuning. It has a bit of a bad reputation in the xen circles, but the more I researched, the more I realized it is a '''paragon''', and that its position nowadays is very much well earned. | The chain of fifths is a very important framework historically.

* '''12edo''' introduces the [[compton]] framework, which closes the chain of fifths with 12 flat, but proportionally very good fifths. Compton ''sensu stricto'' uses an independent generator to each all the different primes, and is generally a very good temperament.

[[Olympic|This]]. The best course of action for detempering Ultimate is to observe the | [[Olympic|This]]. The best course of action for detempering Ultimate is to observe the sasaruma, resulting in rank-4 olympic, which is just {S64, S65}. Notationwise, this results in spliting the saruyoma in halves with no meaningful notation changes. Unlike in JI, where the layoma is around half the sasaruma, here the layoma is ~1.6x LARGER, not smaller. A heavily inflated [[10241/10240|tina (~10241/10240)]] is one of these sasaruma halves; it and distinct layomas are required to reach primes 17 and 19. | ||

It's something I don't think I'll ever see myself doing because this accuracy is enough to represent highly fine edos such as 494, 764, or 935edo, which is already too much for me.

With an average tuning error of -0.000234c, let's be frank, this is JI.

It is also unnecessary in 12edo and 41edo, since it equals a flat and a poma up respectively in those systems, and it is a way to skip the bad 19-limit mappings of 12eg and 41g. | |||
