31edo's perfect fifth is flat of the just interval [[3/2]] | 31edo's perfect fifth is flat of the just interval [[3/2]] by 5.2{{c}}, as befits a tuning [[support]]ing [[meantone]], but the major third is less than a cent sharp of just [[5/4]], making it slightly sharp of [[quarter-comma meantone]]. 31's approximation of [[7/4]], a cent flat, is also very close to just. It is a very tone-efficient melodic approximation of the [[11-limit]] (and specifically the [[11-odd-limit]]), although it conflates [[9/7]] with [[14/11]] and [[11/8]] with [[15/11]]. Many [[7-limit]] JI scales are well-approximated in 31 (with tempering, of course). It also maps all [[15-odd-limit]] intervals consistently, with the sole exceptions of [[13/9]], [[13/11]], [[18/13]], and [[22/13]]. | ||
Because of the near-just 5/4 and 7/4 and because the 11th harmonic is almost twice as flat as the 3rd harmonic, 31edo is relatively quite accurate and is [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #Zeta EDO lists|the 6th zeta integral edo, the 7th zeta gap edo, a zeta peak edo, and a zeta peak integer edo]], meaning it is a [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #Zeta EDO lists|strict zeta edo]]. Other ways in which 31edo is especially accurate is that it represents a record in [[Pepper ambiguity]] in the 7-, 9-, and [[11-odd-limit]], which it is [[consistent]] through, and that it is the first [[Trivial temperament|non-trivial]] edo to be consistent in the 11-[[odd prime sum limit|odd-prime-sum-limit]]. | Because of the near-just 5/4 and 7/4 and because the 11th harmonic is almost twice as flat as the 3rd harmonic, 31edo is relatively quite accurate and is [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #Zeta EDO lists|the 6th zeta integral edo, the 7th zeta gap edo, a zeta peak edo, and a zeta peak integer edo]], meaning it is a [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #Zeta EDO lists|strict zeta edo]].

One step of 31edo, measuring about 38.7¢, is called a [[diesis]] because it stands in for several intervals called "dieses" (most notably, [[128/125]] and [[648/625]]) which are tempered out in [[12edo]]. The diesis is a defining sound of 31edo; when it does not appear directly in a scale, it often shows up as the difference between two or more intervals of a similar size. The diesis is demonstrated in [[SpiralProgressions]]. [[Zhea Erose]]'s 31edo music uses the interval frequently. | One step of 31edo, measuring about 38.7¢, is called a [[diesis]] because it stands in for several intervals called "dieses" (most notably, [[128/125]] and [[648/625]]) which are tempered out in [[12edo]].

31edo is close to a circle made by stacking 31 pure [[17/13]] subfourths. A circle of 31 pure 17/13's closes with an error of only 2.74 cents ([[relative error]] 7.1%). Remarkably, 31edo tempers out [[83521/83486]], the 0.7-cent difference between a stack of four 17/13's and a stack of one 19/13 and one 2/1, giving 31edo's [[oneirotonic]] (5L 3s) [[mos]] accurate 13:17:19 chords. | 31edo is close to a circle made by stacking 31 pure [[17/13]] subfourths.
