'''85/64''', the '''septendecimal fourth''', is a [[17-limit]] interval that closely approximates [[4/3]], from which it differs by [[256/255]].  Because it differs from [[15/8]] by [[24/17]], this interval is an easy, relatively low-prime substitute for 4/3 in scales where one desires to simultaneously maintain [[Rothenberg propriety]] and ensure that all notes in the scale suggest the Tonic as the virtual fundamental when played simultaneously.
'''85/64''', the '''septendecimal harmonic fourth''' or '''[[24576/24565#Archagall|archagall]] fourth''', is a [[17-limit]] [[rooted]] interval that comes rather close to [[4/3]], from which it differs by [[256/255]].  Notably, 85/64 is one of two intervals relatively simple intervals that can be used to generate a just version of something resembling a [[superpyth]] diatonic scale, the other being [[128/85]].

85/64, the septendecimal harmonic fourth or archagall fourth, is a 17-limit rooted interval that comes rather close to 4/3, from which it differs by 256/255. Notably, 85/64 is one of two intervals relatively simple intervals that can be used to generate a just version of something resembling a superpyth diatonic scale, the other being 128/85.
