Ploidacot: Difference between revisions

Ploids: Change "must split" to "may split" to be consistent with 2nd sentence later about haploid temperaments.

* [[Meantone]] and [[schismic]] are haploid monocot
The ploidacots of most common temperaments can be intuitively derived from a basic understanding of its mapping. [[Meantone]] and [[helmholtz]] are monocot since they have a period of a whole octave and are generated by the perfect fifth. Dicot is dicot since it has a period of a whole octave and splits the perfect fifth in two. Semaphore has a period of a whole octave and splits the perfect twelfth in two. It requires one period to add to the fifth to make it a twelfth, and one is alpha. So it is alpha-dicot.
* [[Mohajira]] and [[Dicot family|dicot]] are dicot
 
For a more complex example, let us consider sensi and its weak extension bison. Sensi splits 6/1 in seven. It requires two periods to the fifth to reach 6/1, and two is beta. So it is beta-heptacot. Bison splits the period of sensi in two. As a result, it now requires four periods to the fifth to reach 6/1, and four is delta. So it is diploid delta-heptacot.
