Buzzard: there's no "causes" -- everything is but implications of the mathematical object. Wording to avoid suggesting causation

Buzzard is the main extension to vulture of practical interest, finding prime 7 at only 3 generators down so that the generator is interpreted as a sharp ~[[21/16]], but is more of a full 13-limit system in its own right. It is most naturally described as 53 & 58 (though [[48edo]] is an interesting higher-damage tuning of it for some purposes). As one might expect, 111edo is a great tuning for it.

Its [[S-expression]]-based comma list is {[[1728/1715|S6/S7]], [[5120/5103|S8/S9]]}, with the structure of its 7-limit being the consequences of these equivalences combined with the nontrivial [[JI]] equivalence [[36/35|S6]] = [[64/63|S8]] * [[81/80|S9]] (which [[hemifamity]] leverages). That is, like in any hemifamity tuning, [[36/35]] is split into two syntonic~septimal commas, so buzzard naturally finds an interval between [[6/5]] and [[7/6]] which in the 7-limit is [[32/27]] and in the 13-limit is [[13/11]]. Then the vanish of the orwellisma implies [[49/48]], the large septimal diesis, is tuned to the same step as 36/35, so 49/48 is also split into two so that the system also finds an interval between 7/6 and 8/7 which in the 7-limit is 7/6 inflected down by a comma or 8/7 inflected up by a comma, and in the 13-limit is [[15/13]], so that it is clear this system naturally wants to be extended to and interpreted in the full 13-limit.
