	'''Arcturus''' is a no-twos temperament which tempers out the comma [[15625/15309]]. Having an ~[[5/3]] as a generator, this temperament is the application of the Pythagorean principle of tuning a stack of the next higher prime number and then factoring out powers of the equivalence to tritave composition. However, a heptatonic MOS (2L 5s) will not suffice to produce an understandable rendition of it because a very close ~5/3 generates a L:s ratio between 4:1 and 5:1, which is beginning to get too lopsided to still be a complete presentation of a temperament.
