	A '''tritone''' is an interval that spans six steps of a 12-tone [[chromatic]] scale. In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a tritone if it is reasonably mapped to [[24edo\|12\24]]. The use of 24edo's 12\24 as the mapping criteria here rather than [[12edo]]'s 6\12 better captures the characteristics of many intervals in the [[11-limit\|11-]] and [[13-limit]]. Tritones come in octave-complementary pairs, called '''augmented fourth''' ('''A4''') and '''diminished fifth''' ('''d5''') based on their number of steps in the [[5L 2s\|diatonic]] scale.
