	The '''fifth complement''' of a given [[interval]] is its interval distance from the [[3/2\|fifth (3/2)]]. It's very similar to the [[octave complement]], but doesn't make much sense for intervals less than a fifth (since there is no "fifth reduction"). It seems to be very useful as a way of conceptualizing and constructing more traditional-sounding ~~triads~~, and even as a way of describing the relationships between different [[:Category:third\|third]]s.
