Why is this a fourth? Lol. Both FJS and HEJI agree this is normally a third.

'''23/18''' is a [[23-limit]] interval that is the [[mediant]] between [[9/7]] and [[14/11]], giving it a character that is somewhere between the gentle undecimal thirds and the more strident septimal supermajor ones. It is decently represented by 6 steps of [[17edo]], and near perfectly by 29 steps of [[82edo]]. If used as a generator, it creates [[squares]] temperament.

23/18, the vicesimoterial major third, is a 23-limit interval that is the mediant between 9/7 and 14/11, giving it a character that is somewhere between the gentle undecimal thirds and the more strident septimal supermajor ones. It is sharp of the Pythagorean major third by a vicesimoterial formal comma, 736/729.

Approximation

This interval is decently represented by 6 steps of 17edo, and near perfectly by 29 steps of 82edo. If used as a generator, it creates squares temperament.
