== Theory ==

52edo has [[26edo]]'s very flat [[meantone]] [[perfect|fifth]] and a very sharp fifth close to 1/2-[[64/63|septimal-comma]] [[superpyth]]. The [[patent val]] has the same mapping for [[3/1|3]], [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]] and [[13/1|13]] as 26 does, but its [[5/1|5]] is sharp rather than flat. From this it tempers out [[648/625]] rather than [[81/80]] in the 5-limit, and [[225/224]] and [[1029/1024]] in the 7-limit, showing it [[support]]s [[miracle]], albeit badly, and may be defined by the tempering out of both 648/625 and miracle. In the 11-limit it tempers out [[99/98]] and [[176/175]] and in the 13-limit [[78/77]], [[144/143]] and [[169/168]]. It supplies the [[optimal patent val]] for then 12 & 40 temperament of the diminished family in the 7- and 11-limit, and also in the 13-limit where it can be defined as tempering out 78/77, 99/98, 176/175, 567/550 rather than by two patent vals. It also gives the 13-limit patent val for the {{nowrap|21 & 52}} variant of miracle.
