edited intro, mentioning its existence as the magic equivalent of flattone; also muggloid is kinda exo and useless since 45/44, 65/64 are well justified in the same way as for flattone

Muggles is the rank-2 temperament tempering out 126/125, the starling comma, and 525/512, Avicenna's enharmonic diesis. It is an alternative 7-limit extension to magic and can be described as the 16 & 19 temperament; 16edo, 35edo, and 54edo with the flat-fifth bd val all are muggles tunings. As a tuning noted for having both very flat 3rd and 5th harmonics, and supported by 19edo, it is very analogous to flattone. Similarly to flattone, muggles can extend to the 13-limit by equating 5/4 to both 11/9 and 16/13, thereby tempering out 45/44 and 65/64.

This temperament was named by Gene Ward Smith in 2003[1].
