The '''Pythagorean diminished fourth''', '''8192/6561''', may be reached by subtracting two [[81/64]] intervals from the [[Octave|perfect octave]].

According to [[User:Aura|Aura]], while 8192/6561 may take the place of the classic major third in chords, its status as a diminished fourth means that it has a different function in terms of voice-leading. | The '''Pythagorean diminished fourth''', '''8192/6561''', may be reached by subtracting two [[81/64]] intervals from the [[Octave|perfect octave]].
