Miracle is an exceptionally efficient linear temperament. It is quite accurate, with [[TOP]] error only 0.63 [[cent]]s/[[octave]], meaning intervals of the [[11-odd-limit]] [[tonality diamond]] are represented with only one or two cents of error. Yet it is also very low-complexity (efficient), as evidenced by the high density of 11-odd-limit ratios in the [[#Interval chain]]. At least one inversion of every interval in the 11-odd-limit tonality diamond is represented within 22 secors of the starting value.

Some temperaments have 11/9 as a neutral third, meaning it is exactly half of a 3/2 (tempering out 243/242), and other temperaments have 8/7 as exactly a third of 3/2. Miracle is distinguished by doing both of these things at the same time, so 3/2 is divided into six equal parts.

Miracle can also be thought of as a [[cluster temperament]] with 10 clusters of notes in an octave. The small chroma interval between adjacent notes in each cluster is very versatile, representing [[45/44]]~[[49/48]]~[[50/49]]~[[55/54]]~[[56/55]]~[[64/63]] all [[tempered]] together.
