One way around this is to eschew the generator's interpretation as 9/7 altogether, and focus on the [[5-limit]] part of sensi, which is known as [[sensipent]] (whose comma is [[78732/78125]]). From there, an interpretation of the generator as [[31/24]]~[[40/31]] is apparent. Beyond the 2.3.5.31 subgroup, more accurate interpretations (in comparison to sensi) of sensipent's extended harmony are given by [[sensible]] (adding primes 11, 17, and 23) and [[sendai]] (adding 23 and 29). There are also alternative mappings of 7, including [[sensei]] (+32 generators, with a tuning flat of 65edo) and [[warrior]] (-33 generators, with a tuning between 65edo and 46edo); warrior combines well with the mapping of sensible.

Since the sensamagic comma, 245/243, contains no 2 in its [[monzo|factorization]], only primes 3, 5, and 7, it can be tempered out in a [[3/1|tritave (3/1)]]-repeating context, where the generator (9/7) is now the tritave-reduced 7th subharmonic, two of which give the 5th harmonic. This is known as [[BPS|Bohlen-Pierce-Stearns (BPS)]] temperament, and it generates a [[4L 5s (3/1-equivalent)|4L 5s]] scale against the tritave (sometimes known as ''Lambda''). Where this temperament connects to sensi is that, at 7 generators, BPS reaches an interval that it identifies with [[125/63]], which is rather close to the octave; sensi is obtained by treating this interval as the mapping of 2/1, which provides the interesting notion of using sensi in a 3/1-periodic 3.5.7.2 setting.
