Incidentally, one way to treat 5/3 or 11/7 as an equivalence is the use of the 6:7:8:(10) or 7:8:9:(11) chord as the fundamental complete sonority in a very similar way to the 4:5:6:(8) chord in meantone. Whereas in meantone it takes four 3/2 to get to 5/1, here it takes four 4/3 to get to 8/7 (tempering out the comma 225/224) or four 9/7 to get to 9/8 (tempering out the comma 5929/5832). So, doing this yields 7, 9, and 16 note MOS either way, the 16 note MOS of the two temperaments being mirror images of each other (7L 9s for ed(5/3)s vs 9L 7s for ed(11/7)s). While the notes are rather closer together, the scheme is uncannily similar to meantone. "Microdiatonic" might be a good term for it (even better than for edfs as the generator it uses is an excellent fit for heptatonic MOS) if it hasn't been named yet.

If we instead opt to continue using 4:5:6 as the fundamental sonority, then it will take three 3/2 to get to 5/4, ~~tempering~~ out the comma 250/243. This yields MOS scales of 4, 5, 6, 11, 16, and 21 notes. Although, it should be noted that doing this will often create a pseudo-octave unlike the 6:7:8 approach.

If we instead opt to continue using 4:5:6 as the fundamental sonority, then it will take three 3/2 to get to 5/4, resulting in [[Blackcomb]] temperament that tempers out the comma 250/243. This yields MOS scales of 4, 5, 6, 11, 16, and 21 notes. Although, it should be noted that doing this will often create a pseudo-octave unlike the 6:7:8 approach.
