15edo can be thought of as three sets of [[5edo]] which do not connect by [[3/2|fifths]]. The fifth at 720 cents is quite wide yet still usable as a perfect fifth. Some would describe the fifth as more shimmery and pungent than anything closer to a just 3/2. The perfect fifth of 15edo returns to the octave if stacked five times. In regular temperament terms, this means the [[Pythagorean limma]] is tempered out, which is radically different than a meantone system. This has a variety of ramifications for chord progressions based on {{w|Function (music)|functional harmony}}, because if you use the equipentatonic as your "diatonic scale", the same interval can have multiple functions. Additionally, 15 being equal to {{nowrap|3 × 5}} also implies that 15edo contains five sets of [[3edo]]. | 15edo can be thought of as three sets of [[5edo]] which do not connect by [[3/2|fifths]].
