'''Slendric''', alternatively and originally named '''wonder''' by [[Margo Schulter]]<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_76975.html#77043 Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''Music Theory (was Re: How to keep discussions on-topic)''], and [https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_87455.html#88377 Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''The "best" scale.'']</ref>, or systematically '''gamelic''', is a [[regular temperament]] generated by [[8/7]], so that three of them stack to [[3/2]]. Thus the gamelisma, [[1029/1024]], is tempered out, which defines the [[gamelismic clan]]. Since 1029/1024 is a relatively small comma (8.4¢), and the error is distributed over a few intervals, slendric is quite an accurate temperament (approximating many intervals within 1 or 2 cents in optimal tunings).

The disadvantage, if you want to think of it that way, is that approximations to the [[5/1|5th]] [[harmonic]] do not occur until you go a large number of generators away from the unison. In other words, the 5th harmonic must have a large [[complexity]]. Possible [[extension]]s of slendric to the full [[7-limit]] include [[mothra]], [[rodan]], and [[guiron]], where mothra tempers out [[81/80]], placing 5/1 at 12 generators (4 fifths) up; rodan tempers out [[245/243]], placing 5/1 at 17 generators up; and guiron tempers out the schisma, [[32805/32768]], placing 5/1 at 24 generators (8 fifths) down. [[Weak extension]]s such as [[miracle]] and [[valentine]] are somewhat more efficient, but they change the generator chain.

From there, it is easy to extend these temperaments to the [[11-limit]] since 1029/1024 factorizes in this limit into ([[385/384]]) × ([[441/440]]), and so the logical extension of slendric is to temper out both commas; this places the interval of [[55/32]] at four generators up.

Alternatively, giving 5/1 an independent generator and then tempering out 385/384 and 441/440 results in the rank-3 temperament [[portent]], the natural 11-limit [[expansion]] of slendric. Portent is [[support]]ed by the slendric extensions listed above.

One may note that the two-generator interval is tempered somewhat flat of 21/16 in most tunings of slendric. This allows it to be interpretable as [[17/13]], tempering out [[273/272]] and [[833/832]], into which 1029/1024 factors. Combining that with the mapping of 55/32 at four generators, we obtain the representations 21/16, 17/13, [[55/42]], and [[72/55]] for this interval. If we look one octave higher, a pattern becomes clear: [[21/8]], [[34/13]], [[55/21]], and [[144/55]] are all ratios of two-apart Fibonacci numbers, which therefore closely approximate the square of [[acoustic phi]], entailing that acoustic phi squared over 2 is close to two slendric generators.

A single slendric generator, therefore, is approximable by acoustic phi divided by [[sqrt(2)]], whose precise value is about 233.0903 cents. Using this interval as a generator produces a form of slendric too sharp to be mothra but flat of 36edo, with a fifth about 2.7 cents flat, quite close to the 27\139 tuning in [[139edo]].
A single slendric generator, therefore, is approximable by acoustic phi divided by [[sqrt(2)]]. This can also be explained by 18 being the 6th Lucas number, and therefore a close approximation to φ<sup>6</sup>; approximating 18<sup>1/6</sup> by φ gives us φ/√2 as an approximation of (3/2)<sup>1/3</sup>. This interval's precise value is about 233.0903{{c}}, and using it as a generator produces a form of slendric too sharp to be mothra but flat of 36edo, with a fifth about 2.7 cents flat, quite close to the 27\139 (233.0935{{c}}) tuning in [[139edo]].
