Laka: Difference between revisions

Rework on intro for readability. Move the discussion on the 17-limit extension to the hemifamity family
Address the no-17 19-limit extension

'''Laka''' is a [[rank-3 temperament|rank-3]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] generated by a perfect fifth of [[~]][[3/2]] and a step for the [[81/80|syntonic]]~[[64/63|septimal comma]] to reach the interval classes of [[5/1|5]], [[7/1|7]], and higher [[prime harmonic|primes]]. Using an arrow to represent this comma step, we have [[5/4]] at the down major third (C–vE), [[7/4]] at the down minor seventh (C–vBb), and [[11/8]] at the up augmented third (C–^E#), [[tempering out]] [[540/539]], which makes it a member of [[swetismic temperaments]]. The canonical [[extension]] to the [[13-limit]] tempers out [[352/351]], [[640/637]], [[729/728]] and [[847/845]], and to the no-17 [[19-limit]], [[400/399]], [[456/455]] and [[495/494]]. The [[lattice]] structure is very comparable to that of [[pele]], but it is more complex as many of the simple divisive ratios are further away from the origin.

The canonical [[extension]] to the [[13-limit]] finds [[13/8]] at the up augmented fifth (C–^G#), tempering out [[352/351]], [[640/637]], [[729/728]] and [[847/845]], and a no-17 [[19-limit]] extension is available by recognizing [[19/16]] at the down augmented second (C–vD#), tempering out [[400/399]], [[456/455]] and [[495/494]]. The [[lattice]] structure is very comparable to that of [[pele]], but it is more complex as many of the simple divisive ratios are further away from the origin.
