{{todo|clarify|comment = why is 8edt the analog of 10edo? 8edt does not support 4L 5s (3/1-equivalent).|inline=1}}
== Theory ==
If you view things from the perspective of the [[4L 5s (3/1-equivalent)|4L 5s<3/1>]] Bohlen-Pierce MOS scale, then 8edt could be seen as an analog of [[10edo]], since 8edt is a double of [[4edt]] (the collapsed form of the 4L 5s<3/1> scale, while 10edo is the double of [[5edo]] (the collapsed form of the [[5L 2s]] diatonic scale). However, the full 3:5:7 triad is already present in 4edt which is unlike the situation in 10edo where 4:5:6 gains a new better approximation than the sus4 triad in [[5edo]]. More precisely, 8edt is [[enfactoring|enfactored]] in the 3.5.7 subgroup.


As a double of [[4edt|4edt]], it is the analog of [[10edo]] for [[4L 5s (3/1-equivalent)|Lambda]]-based systems. However, the full 3:5:7 triad is already present in 4edt which is unlike the situation in 10edo where 4:5:6 gains a new better approximation than the sus4 triad in [[5edo]]. More precisely, 8edt is [[enfactored]] in the 3.5.7 subgroup.
What it does introduce are flat [[2/1]] pseudo-octaves and sharp [[3/2]] perfect fifths, making it related to 5edo melodically. It is equivalent to 5edo with the [[3/1]] made just, by compressing the octave by 11.3 cents, which has the side effect of bringing the step size slightly closer to [[8/7]].
