'''2EDT''', if the attempt is made to use it as an actual scale, would divide the [[3/1|tritave]] into two equal parts, each of size 950.9775 cents, which is to say sqrt(3) as a frequency ratio. If we want to consider it to be a temperament, it tempers out [[4/3]] as well as [[1edo]].

==Factoids about 2EDT==
== Theory ==
[[26/15]] and 45/26 are [[Nearest just interval|good rational representations]] of the square root of 3.
As a temperament in the [[3.5 subgroup]], it tempers out [[27/25]], equating 5/3 with 9/5. Because of this, it is related to the [[bug]] temperament. In fact, removing octaves from the [[bug]] temperament results in a 3.5 interpretation of 2edt.


2EDT is closely related to the [[Very high accuracy temperaments|monzismic temperament]], which tempers out |54 -37 2>, the monzisma.
Since [[26/15]] is a [[convergent]] of sqrt(3), 26/15 (and its [[tritave complement]] 45/26) are good rational representations of the square root of 3. 2edt thus tempers out (26/15)<sup>2</sup> / (3/1) = [[676/675]], the island comma.

2 equal divisions of the tritave, perfect twelfth, or 3rd harmonic (abbreviated 2edt or 2ed3), is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/1 into 2 equal parts of about 951 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 31/2, or the square root of 3.

Theory

As a temperament in the 3.5 subgroup, it tempers out 27/25, equating 5/3 with 9/5. Because of this, it is related to the bug temperament. In fact, removing octaves from the bug temperament results in a 3.5 interpretation of 2edt.

Since 26/15 is a convergent of sqrt(3), 26/15 (and its tritave complement 45/26) are good rational representations of the square root of 3. 2edt thus tempers out (26/15)2 / (3/1) = 676/675, the island comma.

Relationship to octave temperaments

One step of 2edt can represent the generator for any rank-2 octavated temperament which takes 2 generators to reach the 3rd harmonic, such as semaphore and monzismic.
