27 being the third power of 3, and the base interval being 3/1, 27edt is a tuning where the number 3 prevails. This property seems to predestine 27edt as base tuning for {{w|Klingon}} music since the tradtional Klingon number system is also based on 3. The rather harsh harmonic character of 27edt would suit very well, too<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_86909.html Yahoo!

This being said, such a proposal is rather short-sighted from a general cultural perspective, since any kind of living creature would most likely gravitate towards some form of [[low-complexity JI]], and while 27edt will gain appreciation in base-3 cultures at some point, it may not be the first temperament they discover. That would be like aliens assuming dominant tuning in human music is [[100ed10]] (or 1000ed10 or variation thereof) just because we count in base 10. | This being said, such a proposal is rather short-sighted from a general cultural perspective, since any kind of living creature would most likely gravitate towards some form of [[low-complexity JI]], and while 27edt will gain appreciation in base-3 cultures at some point, it may not be the first temperament they discover.
