'''3edf''', if the attempt is made to use it as an actual scale, would divide the [[just perfect fifth]] into three equal parts, each of size 233.985 cents, which is to say (3/2)<sup>1/3</sup> as a frequency ratio. It corresponds to 5.1285 [[edo]]. If we want to consider it to be a temperament, it tempers out [[16/15]], [[21/20]], [[28/27]], [[81/80]], and [[256/243]] as well as [[5edo]].

== Theory ==
3edf divides the [[just perfect fifth]] into three equal parts, each of size 233.985 cents, which is to say (3/2)<sup>1/3</sup> as a frequency ratio. It corresponds to 5.1285…[[edo]].
 
It can also be treated as a heavily compressed version of [[5edo]], with the octave compressed by about 30 cents. Its [[patent val]] matches that of 5edo up to the [[7-limit]], and thus tempers out the same commas.

3edf's step size is close to the [[slendric]] temperament, which tempers out 1029/1024 in the 2.3.7 subgroup. It can be used as a slendric tuning. It also works well as a tuning for [[Extraclassical tonality|arto and tendo chords.]]  
3edf is essentially equivalent to the [[slendric]] temperament, which tempers out 1029/1024 in the 2.3.7 subgroup, without octave repetition, and its step size is the 1/3-comma tuning of the slendric generator (approximated by, for instance, [[41edo|8\41]] and [[200edo|39\200]]). It also works well as a tuning for [[Extraclassical tonality|arto and tendo chords.]]
