'''2EDT''', if the attempt is made to use it as an actual scale, would divide the [[3/1|tritave]] into two equal parts, each of size 950.9775 cents, which is to say sqrt(3) as a frequency ratio. If we want to consider it to be a temperament, it tempers out [[27/25]], equating 5/3 with 9/5.

==~~Factoids about 2EDT~~==

== Theory ==

[[26/15]] ~~and 45~~/~~26 are~~ [[~~Nearest just interval|good rational representations~~]] of the ~~square root~~ of 3.

As a temperament in the [[3.5 subgroup]], it tempers out [[27/25]], equating 5/3 with 9/5. Because of this, it is related to the [[bug]] temperament. In fact, removing octaves from the [[bug]] temperament results in a 3.5 interpretation of 2edt.

~~2EDT~~ is ~~closely related to the~~ [[~~Very high accuracy temperaments|monzismic temperament~~]], ~~which~~ tempers out ~~|54 -37~~ 2~~>~~, the ~~monzisma~~.

Since [[26/15]] is a [[convergent]] of sqrt(3), 26/15 (and its [[tritave complement]] 45/26) are good rational representations of the square root of 3. 2edt thus tempers out (26/15)<sup>2</sup> / (3/1) = [[676/675]], the island comma.

One step of 2edt can represent the generator for any rank-2 octavated temperament which takes 2 generators to reach the 3rd harmonic, such as [[semaphore]] and [[monzismic]].
