'''Miracle''' is a [[regular temperament]] discovered by [[George Secor]] in 1974 which has as a [[generator]] an interval, called a ''[[secor]]'' (after George), that serves as both [[15/14]] and [[16/15]] semitones.

Miracle is an exceptionally efficient linear temperament which is a member of both the [[marvel temperaments]] and the [[gamelismic clan]]. It is quite accurate, with [[TOP]] error only 0.63 [[cent]]s/[[octave]], meaning intervals of the [[11-odd-limit]] [[tonality diamond]] are represented with only one or two cents of error. Yet it is also very low-complexity (efficient), as evidenced by the high density of [[11-odd-limit]] ratios in the [[#Interval chain]]. At least one inversion of every interval in the 11-odd-limit tonality diamond is represented within 22 secors of the starting value.

Miracle is an exceptionally efficient linear temperament which is a member of both the [[marvel temperaments]], by [[tempering out]] [[225/224]], and the [[gamelismic clan]], by tempering out [[1029/1024]]. It is quite accurate, with [[TOP]] error only 0.63 [[cent]]s/[[octave]], meaning intervals of the [[11-odd-limit]] [[tonality diamond]] are represented with only one or two cents of error. Yet it is also very low-complexity (efficient), as evidenced by the high density of [[11-odd-limit]] ratios in the [[#Interval chain]]. At least one inversion of every interval in the 11-odd-limit tonality diamond is represented within 22 secors of the starting value.

Some temperaments have [[11/9]] as a "neutral third", meaning it is exactly half of a [[3/2]] (tempering out [[243/242]]), and other temperaments (→ [[Gamelismic clan]]) have [[8/7]] as exactly a third of [[3/2]]. Miracle is distinguished by doing both of these things at the same time, so 3/2 is divided into six equal parts. This is in fact the generator of miracle temperament, called a ''secor'', and it represents both [[16/15]] and [[15/14]].
