'''16ed5/3''' is the [[Ed5/3|equal division of the just major sixth]] into sixteen parts of 55.2724 [[cent]]s each, corresponding to 21.7106[[edo]]. It is very closely related to the [[Escapade family|escapade temperament]]. It is vaguely equivalent to [[22edo]].

It very accurately approximates a number of low complexity just intervals, such as: [[4/3]] (<1¢), [[5/4]] (<1¢), [[11/8]] (<2¢), [[11/10]] (<1¢), [[16/15]] (<2¢), and [[25/16]] (<2¢). It also approximates the [[3/2|just fifth]] and [[2/1|octave]] to within 17¢, making it a flexible non-octave scale.  Notably, having a period of [[5/3]], the diatonic minor third ([[6/5]]) is the period-reduced diatonic octave. This means both are approximated identically (16¢ sharp).

This shows the close relationships with [[srutal]] and [[pajara]] octave temperaments. In 16ed5/3's case, there is a close equivalence to [[22edo]]'s pajara tuning.

16ed5/3 primes can be mapped on the 31-limit to the val ⟨65 103 151 183 225 241 266 276 294 316 322], using every 3 steps of a shrinked [[65edo]] (-2.431¢ per octave). It differs from the patent val of 65edo in the mapping of primes 7.

As 3 semitones make a period-reduced octave, and it alludes to tritone tempering, [[User:Ayceman|I]] propose the name '''tristone''' for the basic [[Diaschismic family|diaschismic temperament]], based on the 16/15 to 6/5 relationship, as well as the following variants and extensions:
