| Ft<, Gdb<↑
| As one of two neutral thirds in this system, this interval is the one that most closely resembles the [[low-complexity JI]] neutral third, and thus, it is frequently used in much the same way as 24edo's own Neutral Third; on top of that, it can be stacked in interesting ways in this system.
| This interval...
* Approximates the [[11/9|Alpharabian Artoneutral Third]], which is the traditional, low complexity Undecimal Neutral Third, and as such...
:* Can occur as the distance between two notes in a single chord in Western-Classical-based polypedal harmony, though this causes dissonance, and thus requires resolution
:* It is a staple interval of the Western-Classical based Paradiatonic scale in this system
:* It serves as the smaller and more consonant of two Neutral Seconds in Western-Classical-based Paradiatonic functional harmony, and thus...
::* Has the potential to move to the Perfect Fourth through a Paradiatonic "wide semitone" motion
::* Has the potential to move to the Lesser Subminor Third through a type of Chromatic semitone motion
* Is the closest approximation of 24edo's own Neutral Third in this system, and thus...
:* Follows similar interval arithmetic logic in relation to Pythagorean intervals, albeit with caveats, since the rastma is not tempered out
:* Can be used in melodic and harmonic gestures reminiscent of those found in that system, albeit with caveats, since such moves on their own don't work the exact same way in this system
