The Functional Just System (FJS) is a logical notation system for the entirety of just intonation (JI) which claims to be both more coherent and more succinct than both Helmholtz-Ellis notation and Ben Johnston's notation.

The Functional Just System can be seen as an extension of the Pythagorean system: the base name of a note (G, D, Ab, etc.) or interval (P5, M2, m6) is calculated by a fifth distance superscript or subscript numbers are added to mark the deviation from the pythagorean base. The chain of fifths used is controlled by a threshold value (or "radius of tolerance") that is λ=65/63 by default (in “The radius of tolerance is a constant, by definition equal to 65/63.”[1])
