Septimal ripple interprets the generator as a very flat ~15/14, so that 3 and 5 are flat and 7 is sharp; of these, 3 is the most damaged, but is also the simplest, so is still viable as an approximation. Due to the sharp 7 and flatter 3, ~21/16 can be fairly in-tune, acting as the alternate fourth in a dual-fourth interpretation, so that the inconsistent but more accurate ~16/9 is reached as ~21/16 * ~4/3 = ~7/4, though this assumes you are putting the most damage on 3 as to get larger primes more in tune. This has another advantage, specific to the 11-limit: this accurate but inconsistent ~9/8 (which is usually just to slightly sharp) can find the neutral third ~11/9 with reasonable accuracy.
