'''Miracle temperament''' is a regular temperament discovered by [[George Secor]] in 1974 which has as a generator an interval, called a '''[[secor]]''' (after George), that serves as both [[15/14]] and [[16/15]] semitones. In terms of [[13-limit]] extensions, it is discussed in [[Miracle extensions|miraculous, benediction, and manna]].
'''Miracle''' is a [[regular temperament]] discovered by [[George Secor]] in 1974 which has as a [[generator]] an interval, called a ''[[secor]]'' (after George), that serves as both [[15/14]] and [[16/15]] semitones.  


Miracle is an exceptionally efficient linear temperament which is a member of both the [[marvel temperaments]] and the [[gamelismic clan]]. It is quite accurate, with [[TOP]] error only 0.63 [[cent]]s/octave, meaning intervals of the [[11-odd-limit]] [[tonality diamond]] are represented with only one or two cents of error. Yet it is also very "low complexity" (efficient), as evidenced by the high density of [[11-odd-limit]] ratios (in bold) in the [[#Interval chain]]. At least one inversion of every interval in the 11-odd-limit tonality diamond is represented within 22 secors of the starting value.

It is quite accurate, with [[TOP]] error only 0.63 [[cent]]s/[[octave]], meaning intervals of the [[11-odd-limit]] [[tonality diamond]] are represented with only one or two cents of error. Yet it is also very low-complexity (efficient), as evidenced by the high density of [[11-odd-limit]] ratios (in bold) in the [[#Interval chain]]. At least one inversion of every interval in the 11-odd-limit tonality diamond is represented within 22 secors of the starting value.  


Some temperaments have [[11/9]] as a "neutral third", meaning it's exactly half of a [[3/2]] (tempering out [[243/242]]), and other temperaments (→ [[Gamelismic clan]]) have [[8/7]] as exactly a third of [[3/2]]. Miracle is distinguished by doing both of these things at the same time, so 3/2 is divided into six equal parts. This is in fact the generator of miracle temperament, called a "secor", and it represents both [[16/15]] and [[15/14]].

Miracle can also be thought of as a [[cluster temperament]] with 10 clusters of notes in an octave. The small chroma interval between adjacent notes in each cluster is very versatile, representing [[45/44]] ~ [[49/48]] ~ [[50/49]] ~ [[55/54]] ~ [[56/55]] ~ [[64/63]] all [[tempered]] together.

In terms of [[13-limit]] extensions, it is discussed in [[Miracle extensions]]. See [[Gamelismic clan #Miracle]] for technical data.
