Below are listed some '''very low accuracy temperaments'''. Temperaments with exceedingly low accuracy such as these tend to [[tempering out|temper out]] very large intervals such as [[9/8]], [[10/9]], [[32/27]], or [[15/14]], equating wildly different interval sizes with [[semitone (interval size measure)|semitone]]-level or even greater [[error]]s. A lot of temperaments listed here don't have [[diamond monotone]] tunings because of their sheer inaccuracy. As a result, all of them are right on or even beyond the edge of what can be sensibly called a temperament at all; that is to say, they are [[exotemperament]]s.

As a result, all of them are right on or even beyond the edge of what can be sensibly called a temperament at all; that is to say, they are [[exotemperament]]s.

This temperament family is characterized by the [[color notation|yo 2nd]] ([[10/9]]) being tempered out. It identifies [[3/2]] with [[5/3]], [[4/3]] with [[6/5]], and [[5/4]] with [[9/8]].

== Quint ==
Quint preserves the 5-limit mapping of 5edo, and harmonic 7 is mapped to an independent generator. As harmonic 7 is already quite accurately approximated by 5edo for its size, this temperament provides little improvement, so it is only provided below for bookkeeping purposes. It would make much more sense to, for example, preserve the 2.3.7-subgroup structure of 5edo and give prime 5 an independent generator instead, which is exactly what [[blackwood]] does.

{{See also| Bug family }}
Codex was named by [[User:Jerdle|Jerdle]] as an abbreviation of "co-decimal", as it resembles [[decimal]] in many ways, but exchanges the roles of 5's and 7's. While decimal equates [[8/7]] and [[7/6]], as well as [[6/5]] and [[5/4]], this equates [[10/9]] and [[6/5]], as well as [[7/6]] and [[9/7]]. It is an extension of [[bug]] and [[54/49|mujannabic]] in the same way decimal is of [[semaphore]] and [[dicot]]. Its ploidacot is diploid beta-dicot.

Oxygen extends porcupine into the 7-limit by conflating 6/5 with 8/7. While this means it does not represent either of those intervals with any real accuracy, it is still of interest because its comma basis suggests potential utility to construct [[fokker block|Fokker blocks]].
