Theory

As a temperament in the 3.5 subgroup, it tempers out 27/25, equating 5/3 with 9/5.

Since 26/15 is a convergent of sqrt(3), 26/15 (and its tritave complement 45/26) are good rational representations of the square root of 3. 2edt thus tempers out (26/15)2 / (3/1) = 676/675, the island comma.

One step of 2edt is close to the optimal TE generator of monzismic temperament, which tempers out [54 -37 2, the monzisma.
