:::: The original discoverer of Huxley temperament - [[Deja Igliashon]] - saw my post on Facebook, and said the following:

:::: “''Hi Budjarn Lambeth, this temperament is one I discovered. It's an extension of Lovecraft, which is the 9&13 (edit: whoops, 4p&13p, not 9&13!) 2.11.13 subgroup temperament where two 13/11's stack to reach 11/8. Lovecraft itself is a restriction of 13-limit Orwell down to the 2.11.13 subgroup IIRC*. Huxley extends Lovecraft to add prime 3 in a different mapping than Orwell, specifically -6 generators. I mainly encountered it via 17edo. The extensions to include prime 5 or prime 7 thus aren't very good, but it's a very nice 2.3.11.13 temperament and 17edo is pretty close to optimal for it IIRC.''

:::: ''*Edit: nope, I was wrong about the Orwell connection! 13-limit Orwell has a different mapping for 13. Lovecraft actually has no real relationship to Orwell except that both have moments of symmetry at 4, 9, and 13-note scales and are generated by a subminor 3rd tuned a bit sharp of 7/6. Lovecraft's 13-note MOS is 4L9s, while Orwell's is 9L4s. Huxley follows Lovecraft's MOS sequence. Gods, but I'm rusty at this stuff!''”

:::: They then went on to write a page for the wiki about Huxley:

:::: “''I have created a very rudimentary version of the page. I may come back and add more to it later, but probably not; the xenwiki is really not my project. TBH it's probably the most potentially-useful temperament that I personally discovered! It also works in 21edo where it more meaningfully extends to the full 13-limit and connects with Delorean temperament. But it's really better to leave prime 5 out of its extensions, IMO. Getting prime 7 into the mix is a lot easier and I'm actually kind of surprised I didn't include it when I named it originally. It maps so easily to -5 generators and that doesn't even increase the error all that much.''”

:::: This is about the best possible outcome I could have hoped for! A huge thank you to Deja and to everyone else who helped throughout this whole process. I’m glad this temperament won’t be lost to time.
