'''Diasem''' (also known as 2s in [[groundfault]]'s [[aberrismic theory]]) is a 9-note [[Maximum variety|max-variety-3]], [[generator-offset]] scale with [[step signature]] 5L 2m 2s, equivalent to the [[semiquartal]] ([[5L 4s]]) mos with two of the small steps made larger and the other two made smaller. Diasem is [[chiral]], with two rotationally non-equivalent variants: ''right-handed (RH) diasem'' LmLsLmLsL and ''left-handed (LH) diasem'' LsLmLsLmL; these [[step pattern]]s are mirror images. The fact that the small step of diatonic is made smaller results in [[26edo]] and [[31edo]] diasem having better melodic properties than the respective diatonic scales. [[21edo]] is the smallest edo to support a non-degenerate diasem.

Diasem can be tuned as a [[Just intonation subgroup|2.3.7 subgroup]] JI scale or a tempered version thereof, where L represents [[9/8]], m represents [[28/27]], and s represents [[64/63]]. This interpretation, or more generally the series of [[generator sequence]] scales generated by GS(7/6, 8/7) or GS(8/7, 7/6), has been named '''Tas''' (from Archytas) by [[Scott Dakota]].
