This temperament is characterized by [[9/8]] being tempering out, and has been termed a "troll temperament" by its authors/inventors. It is named on account of 4/3 and 3/2 both being represented by the 600 cent half octave, which, in terms of diatonic function, serves as an antitonic. Surprisingly, it has extensions all the way up to the 11-limit, as confirmed by the data from [http://x31eq.com/cgi-bin/rt.cgi?limit=11&ets=2_4p&tuning=po x31eq]. The original 5-limit is basically the 3-limit music of [[2edo]] with the addition of harmonic 5 represented by an independent generator.
