== Name ==
=== Proposed names ===
[[TAMNAMS]] suggests the temperament-agnostic name '''pine''', in reference to porcupine temperament.
Mode names are from [[Porcupine Temperament Modal Harmony|Porcupine temperament modal harmony]]. Descriptive mode names are based on using {{dash|1, 4, 7}}, i.e. 3+3 triads as a basis for harmony.

There are three notable [[Harmonic_Entropy|harmonic entropy]] minima with this [[MOSScales|MOS]] pattern. The lowest accuracy one is [[Porcupine_family|porcupine]], in which two generators make a 6/5 and three make a 4/3. The range of porcupine tunings is about 2\15 to 3\22. Less well-known and more accurate is [[Chromatic_pairs#Greeley|greeley]], in which two generators are still 6/5 but three fall quite short of a 4/3, but the scale happens to closely approximate a lot of higher-complexity intervals like 10/7, 11/7, etc. Thirdly and finally, tempering [[4000/3993|S10/S11]] so that ([[4/3]])/([[11/10]])<sup>3</sup> is tempered results in an unusually high accuracy & efficient rank 2 temperament in the 2.3.11/10 subgroup for which interpretation as a rank 3 temperament in 2.3.5.11 (the no-7's [[11-limit]]) is natural, making [[10/9]] and [[12/11]] [[Square superparticular|equidistant from 11/10]] and offering many fruitful tempering opportunities. (Note therefore that [[Porcupine family#2.3.5.11 subgroup .28porkypine.29|porkypine]] can be seen as a trivial tuning of [[4000/3993|pine]] tempering [[100/99]] = S10 and [[121/120]] = S11.)

* The lowest accuracy one is [[porcupine]], in which two generators make a [[6/5]] and three make a [[4/3]]. The range of porcupine tunings is about 2\15 to 3\22.
Mode names are from [[Porcupine Temperament Modal Harmony|Porcupine temperament modal harmony]]. Descriptive mode names are based on using 1-4-7, i.e. 3+3 triads as a basis for harmony.
* Less well-known and more accurate is [[greeley]], in which two generators are still 6/5 but three fall quite short of a 4/3, but the scale happens to closely approximate a lot of higher-complexity intervals like [[10/7]], [[11/7]], etc.

* Thirdly and finally, [[tempering out]] [[4000/3993|S10/S11]] so that ([[4/3]])/([[11/10]])<sup>3</sup> is tempered out results in an unusually high accuracy and efficient rank-2 temperament in the 2.3.11/5 subgroup for which interpretation as a rank-3 temperament in 2.3.5.11 (the no-7's [[11-limit]]) is natural, making [[10/9]] and [[12/11]] [[square superparticular|equidistant from 11/10]] and offering many fruitful tempering opportunities. Note therefore that [[porkypine]] can be seen as a trivial tuning of [[4000/3993|pine]] tempering out {{nowrap|[[100/99]] {{=}} S10}} and {{nowrap|[[121/120]] {{=}} S11}}.
