There are three scales with this [[MOSScales|MOS]] pattern that are significant minima of harmonic entropy. | There are three scales with this [[MOSScales|MOS]] pattern that are significant minima of harmonic entropy. | ||
The first is [[ | The first is [[antikythera]], or no-3's [[Diaschismic_family|srutal/pajara]], which is srutal/pajara without any intervals containing 3 in their prime factorization, so it becomes a 2.5.9 or 2.5.7.9 subgroup temperament. This means that the generator is twice that of srutal/pajara (210-220 cents rather than 105-110), since odd numbers of generators are only needed for intervals with 3. So this is a basically "whole tone" scale, but made uneven so some 2-step intervals are 5/4 and others are 9/7. | ||
The second is [[Dicot_family|decimal]], in which two generators make a 4/3, and the third is [[Jubilismic_clan|Doublewide]], in which the generator is 7/6 so the period minus the generator is 6/5. | The second is [[Dicot_family|decimal]], in which two generators make a 4/3, and the third is [[Jubilismic_clan|Doublewide]], in which the generator is 7/6 so the period minus the generator is 6/5. |
