* "Srutan, shrutaric, srutinic" = Resembles diatonic mode names, which makes sense of many levels:
* "Srutan, shrutaric, srutinic" = Resembles [[diatonic]] mode names, which makes sense in many levels:
** Meantone and its diatonic modes are a kind of ‘sister tuning’ of srutal due to also being generated by 3/2, having very low complexity but still low badness, and having 12edo as their smallest viable equal tuning
** [[Meantone]] and its diatonic modes are a kind of ‘sister tuning’ of srutal due to:
** These temperaments are a compromise between Indian shruti theory and Western diatonic-descended MOS and RTT theory, so it’s fitting for the names to be a hybrid of the two
*** both being generated by [[3/2]]
*** both having exceptionally low [[complexity]] and [[badness]] in the 2.3.5 subgroup
*** both having [[12edo]] as their smallest viable [[equal tuning]]
