The '''modus''' [[regular temperament|temperament]] is one of the [[7-limit]] [[extension]]s of [[tetracot]], the [[5-limit]] temperament [[tempering out]] the [[tetracot comma]] (20000/19683), and is naturally a full [[13-limit]] temperament.  
The '''modus''' [[regular temperament|temperament]] is one of the [[7-limit]] [[extension]]s of [[tetracot]], the [[5-limit]] temperament [[tempering out]] the [[tetracot comma]] (20000/19683), and is naturally a full [[13-limit]] temperament.  


In addition to the tetracot comma, modus tempers out [[64/63]], making it a member of the [[archytas clan]]. As such, septimal intervals are tempered together with Pythagorean intervals; in particular, a stack of two perfect fifths [[octave reduction|octave reduced]] represents [[8/7]][[~]][[9/8]] at 8 generator steps. Modus also tempers out [[4375/4374]], making it a [[ragismic microtemperaments|ragismic temperament]]. In the 11- and 13-limit it can be viewed as a [[weak extension]] of [[suhajira]] as well.

Additionally, the generator can be taken to represent [[21/19]], which gives us an extension for prime 19 at -5 generator steps.

Modus was named by [[Mike Battaglia]] in 2012 for its fantastic [[modmos]] structures. Mike spoke highly of this temperament in its 7-form, considering it as a rival of [[meantone]].<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_102416.html#102467 Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''Guaranteed meantone successor'']</ref><ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_102423.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''Weasels and Tetracots'']</ref> Indeed, the vanishing of 64/63 and [[100/99]] very much contrasts meantone, and the vanishing of [[243/242]] gives it a neutral-ish flavor similar to that of [[migration]] or [[mohajira]].
