The 2.3.5.13 subgroup is a [[just intonation subgroup]] consisting of [[ | The '''2.3.5.13 subgroup''' is a [[just intonation subgroup]] consisting of [[rational interval]]s where 2, 3, 5, and 13 are the only allowable [[prime factor]]s, so that every such interval may be written as a ratio of integers which are products of 2, 3, 5 and 13. This is an infinite set and still infinite even if we restrict consideration to a single octave. Some examples within the [[octave]] include [[5/4]], [[3/2]], [[13/8]], [[13/10]], [[39/32]] and so on. | ||
It can be thought out as an extension of the familiar 5-limit with a tridecimal xenharmonic touch, or as a retraction of the 13-limit obtained by removing 7 and 11. It can be similar to the 2.3.5.11 subgroup, specially considering neutral interval pairs such as 39/32 ~ 11/9 and 16/13 ~ 27/22, which are connected by the small comma of [[352/351]]. | It can be thought out as an extension of the familiar 5-limit with a tridecimal xenharmonic touch, or as a retraction of the 13-limit obtained by removing 7 and 11.

[[Pythagorean tuning]] also works surprisingly well, where the diminished fourth (-8 fifths) [[8192/6561]] and the triple augmented fourth (+20 fifths) 3486784401/2147483648 sound extremely close to 5/4 and 13/8 respectively, wherein tempering the [[schisma]] and [[tridecapyth comma]] provide a fairly more complex but 3/2-[[ | [[Pythagorean tuning]] also works surprisingly well, where the diminished fourth (-8 fifths) [[8192/6561]] and the triple augmented fourth (+20 fifths) 3486784401/2147483648 sound extremely close to 5/4 and 13/8 respectively, wherein tempering the [[schisma]] and [[tridecapyth comma]] provide a fairly more complex but 3/2-[[telicity|telic]] microtemperament, of which 53edo offers an almost perfect approximation.

Other approximations of [[schismic]] reach prime 13 through other means, such as [[hemischis]], dividing prime 3 in 2 and finding 3/2 at +2 gens, 5/4 at -16 gens, and 13/8 at -13 gens.
