53edo is notable as an excellent [[5-limit]] system, a fact apparently first noted by Isaac Newton, notably tempering out [[Mercator's comma]] (3<sup>53</sup>/2<sup>84</sup>), the [[schisma|schisma (32805/32768)]], [[15625/15552|kleisma (15625/15552)]], and [[amity comma|amity comma (1600000/1594323)]]. In the 7-limit it tempers out the [[225/224|marvel comma (225/224)]], [[1728/1715|orwellisma (1728/1715)]], [[3125/3087|gariboh comma (3125/3087)]], and [[4375/4374|ragisma (4375/4374)]]. In the 11-limit, it tempers out [[99/98]] and [[121/120]] (in addition to their difference, [[540/539]]), and is the [[optimal patent val]] for [[big brother]] temperament, which tempers out both, as well as 11-limit [[orwell]] temperament, which also tempers out the 11-limit commas [[176/175]] and [[385/384]]. In the 13-limit, it tempers out [[169/168]], [[275/273]], [[325/324]], [[625/624]], [[676/675]], [[1001/1000]], [[2080/2079]], and [[4096/4095]], and gives the optimal patent val for [[Marvel family #Athene|athene]] temperament. It is the seventh [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning #Zeta EDO lists|strict zeta edo]]. It can also be treated as a no-elevens, no-seventeens tuning, on which it is [[consistent]] all the way up to the 23-odd-limit.  
53edo is notable as an excellent [[5-limit]] system, a fact apparently first noted by {{w|Isaac Newton}}<ref>[https://emusicology.org/index.php/EMR/article/view/7647/6030 Muzzulini, Daniel. 2021. "Isaac Newton's Microtonal Approach to Just Intonation". ''Empirical Musicology Review'' 15 (3–4):223–48. https://doi.org/10.18061/emr.v15i3-4.7647.]</ref>. It is the seventh [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning #Zeta EDO lists|strict zeta edo]]. In the opinion of some, 53edo is the first equal division to deal adequately with the [[13-limit]], while others award that distinction to [[41edo]] or [[46edo]]. Like 41 and 46, 53 is distinctly [[consistent]] in the [[9-odd-limit]] (and if we exclude the most damaged interval pair, 7/5 and 10/7, is [[consistent to distance]] 2), but among them, 53 is the first that finds the [[interseptimal interval]]s [[15/13]] and [[13/10]] distinctly from adjacent [[7-limit|septimal]] intervals [[8/7]] and [[7/6]], and [[9/7]] and [[21/16]], respectively, which is essential to its 13-limit credibility. It also avoids equating [[11/9]] with [[16/13]], so that the former is tuned very flat to equate it with a slightly flat [[~]][[39/32]] – a feature shared by 46edo. It is almost consistent to the entire [[15-odd-limit]], with the only inconsistency occurring at [[14/11]] (and its octave complement), which is mapped inconsistently sharp and equated with [[9/7]], but it has the benefit of doing very well in larger prime/subgroup-limited odd-limits. It can be treated as a no-11's, no-17's tuning, on which it is consistent all the way up to the [[27-odd-limit]].
 
As an equal temperament, it notably [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[Mercator's comma]] (3<sup>53</sup>/2<sup>84</sup>), the [[schisma|schisma (32805/32768)]], [[15625/15552|kleisma (15625/15552)]], and [[amity comma|amity comma (1600000/1594323)]]. In the 7-limit it tempers out the [[225/224|marvel comma (225/224)]] for which it is a [[Marvel#Tunings|relatively efficient tuning]], [[1728/1715|orwellisma (1728/1715)]], [[3125/3087|gariboh comma (3125/3087)]], and [[4375/4374|ragisma (4375/4374)]]. In the 11-limit, it tempers out [[99/98]] and [[121/120]] (in addition to their difference, [[540/539]]), and is the [[optimal patent val]] for [[big brother]] temperament, which tempers out both, as well as 11-limit [[orwell]] temperament, which also tempers out the 11-limit commas [[176/175]] and [[385/384]]. In the 13-limit, it tempers out [[169/168]], [[275/273]], [[325/324]], [[625/624]], [[676/675]], [[1001/1000]], [[2080/2079]], and [[4096/4095]], and gives the optimal patent val for [[marvel family #Athene|athene]] temperament.  


53edo has also found a certain dissemination as an edo tuning for [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|Arabic, Turkish, and Persian music]]. It can also be used as an extended [[3-limit|Pythagorean tuning]], since its fifths are almost indistinguishable from just.

=== Ups and downs notation ===
The following table shows [[sagittal notation]] accidentals in one apotome for 53edo.  
53edo can be notated with [[ups and downs]], spoken as up, dup, dudsharp, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, dupflat etc. Note that dudsharp is equivalent to trup (triple-up) and dupflat is equivalent to trud (triple-down).
{{Sharpness-sharp5a}}
Another notation uses [[Alternative symbols for ups and downs notation#Sharp-5|alternative ups and downs]]. Here, this can be done using sharps and flats with arrows, borrowed from extended [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]]:

=== Ups and downs ===
In the diagrams above, a sagittal symbol followed by an equals sign (=) means that the following comma is the symbol's [[Sagittal notation#Primary comma|primary comma]] (the comma it ''exactly'' represents in JI), while an approximately equals sign (≈) means it is a secondary comma (a comma it ''approximately'' represents in JI). In both cases the symbol exactly represents the tempered version of the comma in this EDO.
Using [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation|Helmholtz&ndash;Ellis]] accidentals, 53edo can also be notated using [[ups and downs notation]]:
{{Sharpness-sharp5-extended}}


== Relationship to 12edo ==
== Relationship to 12edo ==
Whereas 12edo has a circle of twelve 5ths, 53edo has a spiral of twelve 5ths (since 31\53 is on the 7\12 kite in the scale tree). This shows 53edo in a 12edo-friendly format. Excellent for introducing 53edo to musicians unfamiliar with microtonal music. The two innermost and two outermost intervals on the spiral are duplicates.
53edo's [[circle of fifths|circle of 53 fifths]] can be bent into a [[spiral chart|12-spoked "spiral of fifths"]]. This makes sense to do because going up by 12 fifths results in the Pythagorean comma (by definition), which is mapped to one edostep and is thus also the syntonic and septimal comma, introducing a simple second accidental in the form of the arrow to reach useful intervals from the basic 12-chromatic scale. The one-edostep comma is a requirement in Kite's theory, and implies that 31\53 is on the 7\12 kite in the [[scale tree]].  
 
This "spiral of fifths" can be a useful construct for introducing 53edo to musicians unfamiliar with microtonal music. It may help composers and musicians to make visual sense of the notation, and to understand what size of a jump is likely to land them where compared to 12edo.
 
The two innermost and two outermost intervals on the spiral are duplicates, reflecting the fact that it is a repeating circle at heart and the spiral shape is only a helpful illusion.

=== Higher-limit JI ===
=== Higher-limit JI ===
There is also a cluster of usable higher primes starting at 71; even 89 (4.84{{cent}} flat), 97 (4.63{{cent}} sharp) and 101 (2.6{{cent}} sharp) are usable if placed in just the right context.
53edo has only 5 pairs of inconsistent intervals in the full 27-odd-limit: {11/7,&nbsp;14/11}, {[[17/11]],&nbsp;[[22/17]]}, {[[19/17]],&nbsp;[[34/19]]}, {[[21/11]],&nbsp;[[22/21]]}, and {[[23/22]],&nbsp;[[44/23]]}. This is perhaps remarkable compared to 9 pairs in 46edo and 11 pairs in 41edo, because the smallest edo after 53edo to get 5 or less inconsistencies in the 27-odd-limit is [[99edo]] (using the 99[[wart|ef]] [[val]]), followed by [[111edo]] ([[patent val]]), [[130edo]] (patent val) and [[159edo]] (also patent); all of these get 5 inconsistencies as well except 159edo which gets 1 and which is itself a superset of 53edo. However, most interpret the approximation of prime 17 in 53edo as too off for all but the most opportunistic harmonies, and some question the 23 and possibly also 11, so the practical significance of this is debatable.
{{Harmonics in equal|53|columns=4|start=20}}


This make 53edo excellent (for its size) in the 2.3.5.7.11.13.19.23.37.41.71.73.79.83 subgroup, although some higher error primes like 11 and 23 require the right context to be convincing.
As shown below, there is also a cluster of usable higher primes starting at 71; even 89 (4.84{{c}} flat), 97 (4.63{{c}} sharp) and 101 (2.6{{c}} sharp) are usable if placed in just the right context. (Note that prime 67 is almost perfectly off.)
{{Harmonics in equal|53|columns=4|start=20|title=Approximation of large prime harmonics in 53edo}}


Note that the high primes, in rooted (/2<sup>n</sup>) position, essentially act as alternate interpretations of [[LCJI]] intervals, if you want to force a rooted interpretation; namely:
This makes 53edo excellent (for its size) in the 2.3.5.7.11.13.19.23.37.41.71.73(.79.83.101) subgroup, although some higher error primes like 11 and 23 require the right context to be convincing.


[[71/64]] as ~[[10/9]], [[73/64]] as ~[[8/7]], [[79/64]] as ~[[16/13]], and perhaps most questionably in the context of 53edo, [[83/64]] as ~[[13/10]]. (Note that [[8edo]] offers a very good approximation of [[83/64]], so if you are working with a system that maps 13/10 to 3\8 = 450.000{{cent}} it makes more sense to think of 83/64 as the rooted approximation of 13/10 in that context.)
