'''3L 5s''' or ''' | '''3L 5s''' or '''sensoid''' refers to the structure of octave-equivalent [[MOS]] scales with generators ranging from 1\3 (one degrees of [[3edo]] = 400¢) to 3\8 (three degrees of [[8edo]] = 450¢). In the case of 8edo, L and s are the same size; in the case of 3edo, s becomes so small it disappears (and all that remains are the three equal L's). The pattern is named ''antioneirotonic'' because it is the [[oneirotonic]] (5L 3s) MOS pattern with large and small steps switched. | ||
There are two significant harmonic entropy minima with this MOS pattern. [[Sensipent_family|Sensi]], in which the generator is 9/7, two of them make 5/3, and seven of them make 6/1, is the proper one. [[Meantone_family#Squares|Squares]], in which the generator is also 9/7, but two of them make 18/11 and five of them make 8/3, is improper. | There are two significant harmonic entropy minima with this MOS pattern.
