| We see 11/8 as the 4th in Lydian dark major. In Meantone[7] this is an augmented fourth, so whereas 11/8 is represented by the major 4th in Porcupine (L+ 2*s), it is represented by the augmented fourth of Meantone[7] (3*L). The meantone extension representing 11/8 with an augmented fourth is call Meanenneadecal, referencing the fact that it is most at home in [[19edo]]. | | We see 11/8 as the 4th in Lydian dark major.

| For the math nerds: The Porcutone system is built via step nesting from the 5-limit minor seventh tetrad: 6/5 3/2 9/5 2/1. It's a 12-note rank-3 [[Meantone]][12] x [[Ripple]][12] [[Fokker block]], a [[step-nested scale]] that also tempers to [[Porcupine]][8], comprising a diatonic [[Meantone]][7]-[[Porcupine]][7]-[[Dicot]][7] [[wakalix]] / 3-[[Step-nested scale|SNS]] on the white keys, and a pentatonic [[Meantone]][5]-[[Father]][5]-[[Bug]][5] [[wakalix]] on the 'black' keys.

| == Porcutone diatonic ==
| | The Porcutone diatonic is a [[wakalix]] (pairwise well-formed scale) and a [[step-nested scale]]: A detempering of [[Meantone]][7] and [[Porcupine]][7], (and also of [[Dicot]][7]), a [[Fokker block]] with [[Unison vector|unison vectors]] of [[81/80]] and [[250/243]] (and [[25/24]]) has 1 large step of 9/8 (L x L), 3 medium steps of 10/9 (L x s), and 3 small steps of 27/25 (s x s). |

| The six modes of the just porcutone diatonic are:
| |
| | |
| * Mode 3: 10/9 5/4 25/18 3/2 5/3 50/27 2/1 = Meantone[7] 6|0 x Porcupine[7] 5|1 = LLLsLLs x sLsssss = MLMsMMs = Lydian x dark major = Lydian dark major

| If we temper so that 10/9 ~ 11/10, and 27/25 ~ 12/11 (and 9/8 ~ 25/22) ie., tempering out [[100/99]], we get the Ptolemismic Porcutone diatonic with modes:
| |
| | |
| * Lydian dark major: ~ 10/9 5/4 11/8 3/2 5/3 11/6 2/1
| |
| * Mixolydian bright major: ~ 9/8 5/4 15/11 3/2 5/3 9/5 2/1

| The 11th harmonic as a Porcupine M4 is found at Meantone P4, tempering out 33/32, leading to [[Meanenneadecal]], where 33/32 is tempered out, hence the Ptotemismic Porcupine diatonic is a detempering of [[Meanenneadecal]].
