| As the approximation of the Ptolemaic Minor Third- that is, the traditional 5-limit minor third- this interval is one of four imperfect consonances in this system, and, unsurprisingly, is thus used accordingly; however, one should also note that this interval can be reached by stacking three of this system's approximation of the octave-reduced seventeenth harmonic.
