The '''dicot family''' of [[regular temperament|temperaments]] [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[25/24]], the classical chromatic semitone. Dicot was likely the first named of the temperaments ending in -cot, as it is the only one to correspond with a proper botanical term (referring to plants with two embryonic leaves) and it is the most inaccurate.

=== Overview to extensions ===
=== Overview to extensions ===
The second comma of the [[normal lists|normal comma list]] defines which [[7-limit]] family member we are looking at. Septimal dicot adds [[36/35]], flattie adds [[21/20]], sharpie adds [[28/27]], and dichotic adds [[64/63]], all retaining the same period and generator.  
==== 7-limit extensions ====
The second comma of the comma list defines which [[7-limit]] family member we are looking at. Mujannabic adds [[36/35]], flattie adds [[21/20]], sharpie adds [[28/27]], and dichotic adds [[64/63]], all retaining the same period and generator.  


Decimal adds [[49/48]], sidi adds [[245/243]], and jamesbond adds [[16/15]]. Here decimal divides the [[period]] to a [[sqrt(2)|semi-octave]], and sidi uses 14/9 as a generator, with two of them making up the combined 5/2~12/5 neutral tenth. Jamesbond has a period of 1/7 octave, and uses an approximate 15/14 as generator.
The dicot comma, 25/24, factors into the 7-limit as ([[49/48]])⋅([[50/49]]). Since [[49/48]] is the difference between [[8/7]] and [[7/6]], and [[50/49]] is the difference between [[7/5]] and [[10/7]], it makes sense to extend dicot to temper them all out, leading to decimal, a weak extension where the octave and twelfth are split in halves. Other weak extensions include sidi, which adds [[245/243]], and jamesbond, which adds [[16/15]]. Here sidi uses 14/9 as a generator, with two of them making up the combined [[5/2]][[~]][[12/5]] neutral tenth. Jamesbond has a period of 1/7 octave, and uses an approximate 15/14 as generator.

The rest are considered below.  
==== Subgroup extensions ====
In the 11-limit, we have the identity 25/24 = ([[45/44]])⋅([[55/54]]), so it makes sense to temper out all of them. This leads to the very natural subgroup temperament where [[11/9]]~[[27/22]] is mapped to the neutral third. As such, this is also the path that most of the septimal extensions take to get their 11-limit versions.
 
An alternative identity is 25/24 = ([[33/32]])⋅([[100/99]]), and tempering out these commas leads to the 2.3.5.11-subgroup restriction of some of the temperaments below.


=== 2.3.5.11 subgroup ===
=== 2.3.5.11 subgroup ===
The 2.3.5.11-subgroup extension maps [[11/9]]~[[27/22]] to the neutral third. As such, it is related to most of the septimal extensions.

== Septimal dicot ==
== Mujannabic ==
Septimal dicot is the extension where [[7/6]] and [[9/7]] are also conflated into 5/4~6/5. Although 5/4~6/5 covers a giant block of pitches already, 7/6 and 9/7 are often considered as thirds too. On that account one could argue for the canonicity of this extension, despite the relatively poor accuracy.  
Mujannabic extends dicot such that [[7/6]] and [[9/7]] are also conflated with 5/4~6/5. Although 5/4–6/5 covers a giant block of pitches already, 7/6 and 9/7 are often considered as thirds too. On that account one could argue for the utility of this extension despite the relatively poor accuracy.
 
Mujannabic was known as ''septimal dicot'' in earlier materials such as [[Graham Breed]]'s [https://x31eq.com/temper/ Temperament Finder].

Decimal tempers out 49/48 and [[50/49]], and has a semi-octave period for 7/5~10/7 and a hemitwelfth generator for 7/4~12/7. Its ploidacot is diploid dicot. [[10edo]] makes for a good tuning, from which it derives its name. [[14edo]] in the 14c val and [[24edo]] in the 24c val are also among the possibilities.

Decimal can be extended to the 11-limit by the usual path of tempering out 45/44 and 55/54. There is an alternative due to the identity 50/49 = ([[99/98]])⋅([[100/99]]), in which case it also tempers out 33/32. The two mappings meet at the 14c val of [[14edo]].
