Note the latter means that 27ed4 divides 4/1 into three approximate [[8/5]]'s, just as 12ed2 divides [[2/1]] into three [[5/4]]'s, and thus it has a 5/2 equally sharp of rational as the 5/4 in 12ed2. Its 7 and 13 approximations are a bit sharp themselves, and overall it lends itself well to IoE compression: the TE tuning gives one of 2395.819236 cents. | ||
This tuning also lends itself to Tetrarchy temperament, effectively 7-limit [[Archytas clan|Archytas temperament]] for the [[4/1|tetratave]]. In this case, the major mossecond (5 mossteps) represents [[9/7]] and the minor mossecond (3 mossteps), a very accurate [[7/6]].

The 6L 1s scale can be extended to the 13-note (7L 6s) scale, these would include all of the sharps except for F#. Due to the L/s ratio of 3:1, in the 13-note case, most former diminished intervals become minor, most former minor intervals become augmented, and most former augmented intervals become major. Similarly, the 3L 4s scale can be extended to a 7L 3s scale, by dividing the long intervals into sets of 3 and 2 mossteps. | ||

← 25ed4 | 27ed4 | 29ed4 → |
27ed4 is an equal tuning that divides the 4/1 ratio (double-octave, tetratave, fifteenth) into steps of 888/9 cents.
It serves as a good first approximation to Nelindic temperament, and is in many respects a "3n+1 cousin" of 5-limit 12et (even though it takes every other step of the dissimilar 27et), with relatively high error but low complexity, similar step size, and even sharing a common comma (128/125). Note the latter means that 27ed4 divides 4/1 into three approximate 8/5's, just as 12ed2 divides 2/1 into three 5/4's, and thus it has a 5/2 equally sharp of rational as the 5/4 in 12ed2. Its 7 and 13 approximations are a bit sharp themselves, and overall it lends itself well to IoE compression: the TE tuning gives one of 2395.819236 cents.
This tuning also lends itself to Tetrarchy temperament, effectively 7-limit Archytas temperament for the tetratave. In this case, the major mossecond (5 mossteps) represents 9/7 and the minor mossecond (3 mossteps), a very accurate 7/6. The generator is a sharp diatonic fifth (711.11¢), contextually a perfect mosthird (8 mossteps). The TE tuning gives a tetratave of 2393.9334 cents.
Intervals
The following table of intervals uses both the 7-note 6L 1s MOS scale of Nelindic for the naturals (simple A-G notation and standard sharps/flats for the chroma) and the 7-note 3L 4s scale (standard A-G notation using the typical genchain from mosh) for Tetrarchy. The 6L 1s scale can be extended to the 13-note (7L 6s) scale, these would include all of the sharps except for F#. Due to the L/s ratio of 3:1, in the 13-note case, most former diminished intervals become minor, most former minor intervals become augmented, and most former augmented intervals become major. Similarly, the 3L 4s scale can be extended to a 7L 3s scale, by dividing the long intervals into sets of 3 and 2 mossteps.

Temperaments
There rank-2 temperament interpretation of the 3L 4s is called Tetrarchy. The name is derived from „tetratave Archytas”, as it's the double octave interpretation of 7-limit Archytas. This scale tempers Archytas' comma (64/63), as 3/2 stacked twice approximates 16/7, stacked thrice, it approximates 24/7, and stacked 4 times: 36/7, which is 9/7 above the tetratave.
