Equal temperaments with guanyin tetrads include 22, 31, 53, 58, 80 and 111. In orwell temperament, where 121/120 is tempered out, the guanyin and orwell tetrads are the same.</pre></div>

The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

The //orwell tetrad// is a four-note chord which in close position (reduced to the octave) consists of a chain of three subminor thirds, thirds of approximately 7/6 in size, and a major third, of approximately 5/4 in size, which closes at the octave since the orwell comma, 1728/1715, is tempered out; in other words, a 7/6-7/6-7/6-5/4 chord. Equal temperaments tempering out 1728/1715 and hence containing orwell tetrads include 22, 26, 27, 31, 53, 58, 80, 84 and 111. 

The orwell tetrad can in a natural way be extended to the [[11-limit]] as 1-7/6-11/8-8/5 by tempering out 99/98, a comma of [[orwell temperament]]. With a bit more accuracy, tempering out 176/175 and so also 540/539 allows it to be seen as the [[Orwellismic family#Guanyin|guanyin]] tetrad, a tempered version of 1-7/6-15/11-8/5. Equal temperaments with guanyin tetrads include 22, 31, 53, 58, 80 and 111. In orwell temperament, where 121/120 is tempered out, the guanyin and orwell tetrads are the same.
