The '''118 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''118edo'''), or the '''118(-tone) equal temperament''' ('''118tet''', '''118et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, is the [[equal division of the octave]] into 118 parts of about 10.2 [[cent]]s each.

118edo represents the intersection of the [[5-limit]] [[schismatic]] and [[parakleismic]] temperaments, [[tempering out]] both the [[schisma]], {{monzo| -15 8 1 }} and the [[parakleisma]], {{monzo| 8 14 -13 }}, as well as the [[vishnuzma]], {{monzo| 23 6 -14 }}, the [[hemithirds comma]], {{monzo| 38 -2 -15 }}, and the [[kwazy]], {{monzo| -53 10 16 }}. It is the first 5-limit equal division which clearly gives microtempering, with errors well under half a cent. In addition, 118edo excellently approximates the 22 Shruti scale.
118edo is the first [[5-limit]] equal division which clearly gives [[microtemperament|microtempering]], with [[error]]s well under half a cent. It represents the intersection of the [[5-limit]] [[schismatic]] and [[parakleismic]] temperaments, [[tempering out]] both the [[schisma]], {{monzo| -15 8 1 }} and the [[parakleisma]], {{monzo| 8 14 -13 }}, as well as the [[vishnuzma]], {{monzo| 23 6 -14 }}, the [[hemithirds comma]], {{monzo| 38 -2 -15 }}, and the [[kwazy comma]], {{monzo| -53 10 16 }}.


In the 7-limit, it is particularly notable for tempering out the [[gamelisma]], 1029/1024, and is an excellent tuning for the rank three [[Gamelismic family|gamelan]] temperament, and for [[guiron]], the rank two temperament also tempering out the schisma, 32805/32768. It also tempers out 3136/3125, the hemimean comma, but [[99edo]] does better with that.
118edo is the 17th [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning|zeta peak edo]], and it has decent approximations to harmonics [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]], [[17/1|17]], and [[19/1|19]]. In the 7-limit, it is particularly notable for tempering out the [[gamelisma]], 1029/1024, and is an excellent tuning for the rank-3 [[Gamelismic family|gamelismic]] temperament, and for [[guiron]], the rank-2 temperament also tempering out the schisma, 32805/32768. It also tempers out 3136/3125, the [[hemimean comma]], but [[99edo]] does better with that.


In the 11-limit, it tempers out [[385/384]] and [[441/440]], and is an excellent tuning for [[portent]], the temperament tempering out both, and for the 11-limit version of guiron, which does also.

It has two reasonable mappings for 13. The [[patent val]] tempers out [[196/195]], [[352/351]], [[625/624]], [[729/728]], [[1001/1000]], [[1575/1573]] and [[4096/4095]]. The 118f val tempers out [[169/168]], [[325/324]], [[351/350]], [[364/363]], [[1573/1568]], [[1716/1715]] and [[2080/2079]]. It is, however, better viewed as a no-13 19-limit temperament, on which subgroup it is consistent through the [[21-odd-limit]].

Since the [[Pythagorean comma]] maps to 2 steps of 118edo, it can be interpreted as a series of ten segments of twelve Pythagorean fifths minus the said comma.
Since the [[Pythagorean comma]] maps to 2 steps of 118edo, it can be interpreted as a series of ten segments of twelve Pythagorean fifths minus the said comma. In addition, one step of 118edo is close to the 2097152/2083725 (the [[bronzisma]]), [[169/168]], and [[170/169]].


118edo is the 17th [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning|zeta peak edo]].
=== Prime harmonics ===
{{Harmonics in equal|118}}


=== Prime harmonics ===
=== Octave stretch ===
{{primes in edo|118}}
118edo's approximated harmonics 7, 11, 17 and 19 can be improved by employing a moderate [[stretched and compressed tuning|octave stretch]], using tunings such as [[69edf]] or [[187edt]], only at the cost of a little less accurate 5-limit part.
 
=== Subsets and supersets ===
Since 118 factors into primes as {{nowrap| 2 × 59 }}, 118edo contains [[2edo]] and [[59edo]] as subset edos. Its multiples, [[236edo]], [[354edo]] and [[472edo]] are all of various interests, each providing distinct interpretations of harmonics 7 and 11. See also [[118th-octave temperaments]].

This notation was proposed by Eliora in November 2021.  
This notation was proposed by Eliora in November 2021.  


118 is the number of chemical elements in the first 7 periods of the periodic table, and it is the number of elements which are ever expected to be most useful to humans. As a result, chemical element names can be used as note names in 118edo. In addition, such a notation is succinct as each pitch class is unique, and also it doesn't favor any other temperament or tuning besides 118edo.
118 is the number of chemical elements in the first 7 periods of the periodic table, and it is the number of elements which are ever expected to be most useful to humans. As a result, chemical element names can be used as note names in 118edo. Chemical notation's properties can be a disadvantage - it requires memorizing the names of the elements of the periodic table. However, the notation is succinct and some people prefer this kind of notation for edosteps, as unlike MOS or JI-based notations, it is entirely based on 118edo alone and does not imply a preference of one edo over another.


However, chemical notation's properties can also be a disadvantage - it requires memorizing the names of the elements of the periodic table. In addition, uniqueness of pitch class is a disadvantage as well - since all the notes are separately named, it does not reflect the harmonic structure of 118edo.  
The following are the correspondences of the periodic table structure with 118edo: 
 
* 2\118 is the width of the s-block, and is also the size of the Pythagorean and syntonic commas in 118edo.
* 87\118 (francium, start of period 7) and 89\118 (actinium, start of the 7f-block), form 5/3 and 27/16 respectively. 
* Mercury, ending the 6d-block, corresponds to 8/5.  
* The minor tone 10/9 corresponds to 18 (argon), a noble gas, ending 3 periods, while 9/8 corresponds to 20 (calcium), the 2s metal. 
* 6\118, the width of the p-block, corresponds to one small step of the maximally even parakleismic scale, created by stacking 6/5.

* 118et is lower in relative error than any previous ETs in the 5-limit. Not until [[171edo|171]] do we find a better ET in terms of absolute error, and not until [[441edo|441]] do we find one in terms of relative error.
* 118et is lower in relative error than any previous equal temperaments in the 5-limit. Not until [[171edo|171]] do we find a better one in terms of absolute error, and not until [[441edo|441]] do we find one in terms of relative error.
