The '''2.3.5.13 subgroup''' (a.k.a. ''yatha'' in [[color notation]]) is a [[just intonation subgroup]] consisting of [[rational interval]]s where [[2/1|2]], [[3/1|3]], [[5/1|5]], and [[13/1|13]] are the only allowable [[prime factor]]s, so that every such interval may be written as a ratio of integers which are products of 2, 3, 5 and 13. This is an infinite set, and is still infinite even if we [[Octave reduction|octave-reduce]] every interval in it. Some examples within the [[octave]] include [[5/4]], [[3/2]], [[13/8]], [[13/10]], [[39/32]] and so on. | |||

It | It can be thought out as an extension of the familiar [[5-limit]] with a tridecimal xenharmonic touch, or as a retraction of the 13-limit obtained by removing [[7/1|7]] and [[11/1|11]]. It shares some qualities with the [[2.3.5.11 subgroup]], specifically considering [[neutral (interval quality)|neutral]] interval pairs such as [[39/32]]~[[11/9]] and [[16/13]]~[[27/22]], which differ by the small comma of [[352/351]]. | ||
This subgroup is notable for containing the simplest JI representations of [[interseptimal]] intervals, which are halfway between two interval categories, with [[15/13]] being an ultramajor second/inframinor third, [[13/10]] being an ultramajor third/infrafourth, [[20/13]] being an ultrafifth/inframinor sixth, and [[26/15]] being an ultramajor sixth/inframinor seventh. Importantly, 15/13 is close to half of the [[4/3|perfect fourth]], and 26/15 is close to half of the [[3/1|perfect twelfth]], with two intervals of 15/13 falling short of 4/3 by [[676/675]], the island comma. | |||

The 2.3.5.13 subgroup is relatively well approximated by the following edos (decreasing [[TE error]], bold ones do particularly well in this subgroup): {{EDOs| '''7''', 10, 12, 15, '''19''', '''34''', '''53''', 130, 140, 164, 183, 217, 270, 354, 388, 407, '''441''', … }} | |||

[[ | The 2.3.5.13 version of [[kleismic]] (sometimes called ''cata'') provides a fairly low complexity approximation to the subgroup, using a slightly sharp [[~]]6/5 as a generator, finding ~5/4 at +5 gens, ~3/2 at +6 gens, and ~13/8 at +14 gens. Two generators reach ~[[13/9]], [[tempering out]] the marveltwin comma [[325/324]]. Then ~[[26/15]] is found at three generators, with two such intervals reaching ~3/1, tempering out [[676/675]]. The interval at +4 generators is a third of a [[9/8]] whole tone, representing all of [[25/24]], [[26/25]], and [[27/26]]. Good tunings of cata include [[34edo]] and especially [[53edo]], with other tunings such as [[87edo]] and [[140edo]] being usable as well. | ||
[[Pythagorean tuning]] also works surprisingly well, where the diminished fourth (-8 fifths) [[8192/6561]] and the triple augmented fourth (+20 fifths) 3486784401/2147483648 sound extremely close to 5/4 and 13/8 respectively | The [[schismic]] extension that adds prime 13 via tempering out [[325/324]] provides a more complex temperament, well represented with [[41edo]] and 53edo, though [[94edo]] is more optimized and can extend to other subgroups. [[Pythagorean tuning]] also works surprisingly well, where the diminished fourth (-8 fifths) [[8192/6561]] and the triple augmented fourth (+20 fifths) 3486784401/2147483648 already sound extremely close to 5/4 and 13/8 respectively. This mapping for 13 is a [[restriction]] of the full 13-limit [[cassandra]] mapping. This is not so much a temperament as it is a relabeling of the 3-limit, which offers 5 and 13 with -1.954{{c}} and -1.428{{c}} of error respectively. | ||
Other approximations of [[schismic]] reach prime 13 through other means, such as [[hemischis]], dividing prime 3 in 2 and finding 3/2 at +2 gens, 5/4 at -16 gens, and 13/8 at -13 gens. | Other approximations of [[schismic]] reach prime 13 through other means, such as [[hemischis]], dividing prime 3 in 2 and finding 3/2 at +2 gens, 5/4 at -16 gens, and 13/8 at -13 gens. [[Helenus]] reaches 13/8 through -33 fifths, but it is a worse mapping. | ||

{[[Catasma|140625/140608]]}, the temperament that tempers the catasma alone, is an extremely accurate temperament, which also appears in the same Egads extension (catabolic). Non-cata edos at the boundary of usability are, [[407edo]], [[441edo]], [[494edo]], [[901edo]], and of course [[1342edo]]. | |||
