'''Dicot''' is an exotemperament that tempers out 25/24. It is also the first fully prototypical [[Ploidacot/Dicot|dicot]] temperament. It tempers out 6/5 and 5/4 into the same "neutral third" interval, which, when the fifth is tuned pure, is [[sqrt(3/2)]]. It is useful to represent the structure of 5-limit harmonies without fully representing them in its greater accuracy. | '''Dicot''' is an exotemperament that tempers out 25/24.

It can be extended by tempering out [[15/14]] and [[36/35]] in the 7-limit, though in practice this turns the [[3L 4s]] [[MOS]] into a [[4L 3s]] [[MOS]]. | It can be extended by tempering out [[15/14]] and [[36/35]] in the 7-limit, though in practice this turns the [[3L 4s]] [[MOS]] into a [[4L 3s]] [[MOS]]. This makes [[7/6]] and [[9/7]] equated to the neutral third, viewing [[6:7:9]] as a tertian chord. Another notable extension of dicot is [[decimal]], which splits the octave in two for [[7/5]]~[[10/7]] by tempering out [[50/49]], and equates [[7/6]] and [[8/7]] to the tritone complement of 5/4~6/5, neutralizing the 6:7:8 chord as well. This represents the structure of 7-limit harmonies in a way that isn't based on tertian harmony and a heptatonic system, but rather a decatonic one. A more accurate system based on 10 interval classes that doesn't neutralize these chords is [[pajara]]. An even more accurate one is [[miracle]], though its structure is more complex than that of pajara. | ||
