This scale has 9 just perfect fifths, 5 just major thirds, 6 harmonic sevenths, and 5 11-limit superfourths. One interesting thing about this scale is that it has 3 chains of pseudo-5edo that only contain perfect fifths and harmonic sevenths. (This subset scale is 1/1, 9/8, 21/16, 3/2, 7/4, 2/1 or the chord 16:18:21:24:28:32.) In the same way that 15edo could be used as 5edo with a few extra ornamental notes, this scale could be used as pseudo-5edo with occasional 5-limit and 11-limit melodies/harmonies. If you see any other interesting properties that I missed, please let me know in this page's talk section.

This scale only uses harmonics of the fundamental up to the 11 prime limit. It can be interpreted as the chord 128:132:140:144:154:160:168:176:180:192:198:210:224:231:240:256.

Details about scale structure

A lattice showing the structure of this scale

This scale has 9 just perfect fifths, 5 just major thirds, 6 harmonic sevenths, and 5 11-limit superfourths. One interesting thing about this scale is that it has 3 chains of pseudo-5edo that only contain perfect fifths and harmonic sevenths. (This subset scale is 1/1, 9/8, 21/16, 3/2, 7/4, 2/1 or the chord 16:18:21:24:28:32.) In the same way that 15edo could be used as 5edo with a few extra ornamental notes, this scale could be used as pseudo-5edo with occasional 5-limit and 11-limit melodies/harmonies.
