If one wishes to treat 7/2 as an equivalence, one way is the use of the 3:4:5:6:7:8 chord as the fundamental complete sonority in a very similar way to the 4:5:6:(8) chord in [[meantone]]. Whereas in meantone it takes four [[3/2]] to get to [[5/1]], here it takes two [[4/3]] to get to the octave, ([[tempering out]] the comma [[64/63]]). So, doing this yields 9-, 13-, 22- and 31-note [[MOS scale]]s. While the notes are rather farther apart, the scheme is uncannily similar to [[orwell]]. This is the ''yakuman temperament'', named by Joseph Ruhf, that is a kind of macro-orwell.
