All temperaments on this page have a period that is 1/31th of an octave.
By the 31-3-comma is meant 617673396283947/562949953421312 = [-49 31⟩, the amount (160.605 cents) by which 31 just perfect fifths (3/2) exceed 18 octaves. This may not seem like much of a comma, but since 31edo is such a strong 7-limit system, 11- and 13-limit temperaments based on the cycle of 31 fifths actually make sense.
31edo is accurate for harmonics 5 and 7, the 31-5-comma ([72 0 -31⟩, the amount by which 31 just major thirds (5/4) fall short of 10 octaves) and the 31-7-comma ([-87 0 0 31⟩, the amount by which 31 septimal whole tone (8/7) fall short of 6 octaves) is tempered out by Template:Val list. Tempering out these commas leads to the birds temperament.
Prajapati
The Hindu god Pradjapati is said to have created the universe by speaking aloud the odd numbers from 1 to 31. People with an interest in 31 may want to try this method themselves.
