Numerological Nontemperament is a scale developed by Rozencrantz the sane in a fit of irrationality. After reading about irrational ratios and [[Charles_Lucy|Charles Lucy]]'s use of pi, I wondered what a truly irrational scale would sound like. A rank-2 temperament, the [[Period|large generator]] ~~(formal-octave)~~ is [[Wikipedia:Pi|pi]] (approximately 355/113, a wide 12th) and the small [[generator]] is the [[golden ratio]] (around 830 cents)

The scale lies on top of the halberstadt keyboard quite nicely, though it lacks the key orientation that would make raised accidentals at all meaningful.
