Echidna: I wouldn't be so sure that 80edo is "as accurate as it can be". Fix a number of places where temper out is written as just "temper". Remove some duplicate information
Echidna: put the 13- and 17-limit in the broader context of all srutal extensions
Line 710: Line 710:
The generator can be interpreted as 11/10, the period complement of 9/7, as a stack of 11/10 and 9/7 makes [[99/70]] which is extremely close to 600{{cent}} and is equal to it if we temper out [[9801/9800|S99]]. Three 11/10's then make a 4/3 (tempering out [[4000/3993|S10/S11]] thus making 10/9 and 12/11 equidistant from 11/10), implying a flat tuning of 4/3.

A surprisingly natural extension to the 13-limit is possible by observing that since we have tempered out [[176/175]], tempering out [[351/350]] and [[352/351]] which sum to 176/175 is very elegant. This mapping of 13 is supported by the patent vals of the three main echidna edos of 22, 58 and 80, of which all except 22 are consistent in the [[17-odd-limit]].
Like most srutal extensions, the 13- and 17-limit interpretations are possible by observing that since we have tempered out [[176/175]], tempering out [[351/350]] and [[352/351]] which sum to 176/175 is very elegant. In the 17-limit we can equate the half-octave with 17/12 and 24/17 and we can take advantage of the sharp fifth by combining echidna with [[srutal archagall]], leading to a particularly beautiful temperament (one that prefers a very slightly less sharp fifth than srutal archagall). This mapping of 13 and 17 is supported by the patent vals of the three main echidna edos of 22, 58 and 80, of which all except 22 are consistent in the [[17-odd-limit]].
