The [[11/9]] interval, usually considered a "neutral third", is in porcupine identical to the [[6/5]] "minor third". An interval in the neutral third range is not found for a long time (until 17 generators up), and as a result that interval varies drastically depending on the tuning. This also means that the [[27/20]] "acute fourth" of the JI diatonic scale is equivalent to [[11/8]] (rather than becoming 4/3 as in meantone).
The [[11/9]] interval, usually considered a "neutral third", is in porcupine identical to the [[6/5]] "minor third", due to the extreme flatness of 10/9. An interval in the neutral third range is not found for a long time (until 17 generators up), and as a result that interval varies drastically depending on the tuning. This also means that the [[27/20]] "acute fourth" of the JI diatonic scale is equivalent to [[11/8]] (rather than becoming 4/3 as in meantone).


The interval representing both [[25/24]] and [[81/80]] can be found in this interval chain at -7 steps, and ranges from about 45 to 80 cents depending on the tuning.
The interval representing both [[25/24]] and [[81/80]] can be found in this interval chain at -7 steps, and ranges from about 45 to 80 cents depending on the tuning. This can be considered the "chroma" of porcupine temperament.
