'''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 also named ''antioneirotonic'' because it is the [[oneirotonic]] (5L 3s) MOS pattern with large and small steps switched.
'''3L 5s''' or '''sensoid''' (named after the regular temperament [[sensi]]) 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).

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.

== Notation ==
The notation used in this article is JKLMNOPQJ = sLssLsLs (Anti-Ultharian), #/@ = up/down by chroma, N = C4 = 261.6255653 Hz.


== Tuning ranges ==
=== Parasoft ===
Parasoft is the narrow region between 7\19 (442.1¢) and 10\27 (444.4¢). The root-mos5th-mos8th chords usually spell 5:7:9 and 7:10:13 chords (shown in the Anti-Dylathian mode QJKLMNOPQ = ssLssLsL):
* Q M P = ssLs sLs L = 5:7:9
* J N Q = sLss LsL s = the odd one out
* K O J = LssL sLs s = 7:10:13
* L P K = ssLs Lss L = 5:7:9
* M Q L = sLsL ssL s = 7:10:13
* N J M = LsLs sLs s = 7:10:13
* O K N = sLss Lss L = 5:7:9
* P L O = LssL ssL s = 7:10:13
<!-- Tunings in this region have a regular temperament interpretation called [[Sensi]].-->
== Modes ==
Sensoid modes can be named by prefixing ''anti-'' to their counterpart modes in the MOS sister [[oneirotonic]].
# Anti-Sarnathian (sar-NA(H)TH-iən): LsLssLss
# Anti-Hlanithian (lə-NITH-iən): LssLsLss
# Anti-Kadathian (kə-DA(H)TH-iən): LssLssLs
# Anti-Mnarian (mə-NA(I)R-iən): sLsLssLs
# Anti-Ultharian (ul-THA(I)R-iən): sLssLsLs
# Anti-Celephaïsian (kel-ə-FAY-zhən): sLssLssL
# Anti-Illarnekian (ill-ar-NEK-iən): ssLsLssL
# Anti-Dylathian (də-LA(H)TH-iən): ssLssLsL
The modes on the white keys JKLMNOPQJ are:
* J Anti-Ultharian
* K Anti-Hlanithian
* L Anti-Illarnekian
* M Anti-Mnarian
* N Anti-Sarnathian
* O Anti-Celephaïsian
* P Anti-Kadathian
* Q Anti-Dylathian
