(The '''Pythagorean diminished fourth''', '''8192/6561''', may be reached by subtracting two [[81/64]] intervals from the [[Octave|perfect octave]].  It differs from the classic major third, [[5/4]], by the [[schisma]] (around 2 cents), and, as a result, the Pythagorean diminished fourth is in fact rather consonant.  According to [[User:Aura|Aura]], while 8192/6561 may take the place of the classic major third in chords, its status as a diminished fourth means that it has a different function in terms of voice-leading. According to [[User:VectorGraphics|Vector]], however, 8192/6561's extreme proximity to the classic major third means it can be considered a major third.
