'''Porcupine''' is a [[linear temperament]] in the [[porcupine family]] that tempers out [[250/243]], the porcupine [[comma]], and whose generator is somewhere around 160-165 cents. It can be thought of as a 5-[[Harmonic Limit|limit]], 7-limit, or 11-limit temperament, or a 2.3.5.11 [[subgroup temperament]]. It is one of the best temperaments in the 2.3.5.11 subgroup, with a unique combination of efficiency and accuracy.
'''Porcupine''' is a [[linear temperament]] in the [[porcupine family]] that tempers out [[250/243]], the porcupine [[comma]], and whose generator is somewhere around 160–165 cents. It can be thought of as a 5-[[Harmonic Limit|limit]], 7-limit, or 11-limit temperament, or a 2.3.5.11 [[subgroup temperament]]. It is one of the best temperaments in the 2.3.5.11 subgroup, with a unique combination of efficiency and accuracy.


The basic 5-limit harmonic structure of porcupine can be understood simply by noting that tempering out 250/243 makes (4/3)^2 equivalent to (6/5)^3. In perhaps more familiar musical terms, this means two "perfect fourths" equals three "minor thirds". As a consequence of this, 4/3 is divided into 3 equal parts, and 6/5 is divided into 2 of those same equal parts. This is obviously in stark contrast to [[12edo]], and to meantone, in which neither 4/3 nor 6/5 can be divided into any number of equal parts. The "equal tetrachord" formed by dividing 4/3 into 3 equal parts is a characteristic feature of many porcupine scales.
