However, one can also map 3/2 to 14 degrees of 23-EDO without significantly increasing the error, taking us to a [[7-limit]] temperament where two 'broad 3/2's equals 7/3, meaning 28/27 is tempered out, and six 4/3's octave-reduced equals 5/4, meaning 4096/3645 is tempered out. Both of these are very large commas, so this is not at all an accurate temperament, but it is related to [[13edo|13-EDO]] and [[18edo|18-EDO]] and produces [[MOSScales|MOS scales]] of 5 and 8 notes: 5 5 4 5 4 (the [[3L 2s|"anti-pentatonic"]]) and 4 1 4 1 4 4 1 4 (the "quarter-tone" version of the Blackwood/[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Rapoport_%28music_critic%29 Rapoport]/Wilson 13-EDO "subminor" scale). Alternatively we can treat this temperament as a 2.9.21 subgroup, and instead of calling 9 degrees of 23-EDO a Sub-"4/3", we can call it 21/16. Here three 21/16's gets us to 9/4, meaning 1029/1024 is tempered out. This allows us to treat a triad of 0-4-9 degrees of 23-EDO as an approximation to 16:18:21, and 0-5-9 as 1/(16:18:21); both of these triads are abundant in the 8-note MOS scale.
