This is an interval that allows to pass from a just major third (5/4) to a just minor third (6/5) by [[equal contrary motion]], and vice versa. Let be two voices forming a 5/4 interval. If the lower voice goes up by a sqrt(25/24) and the upper voice goes down by the same interval, the next interval formed by the two voices will be a 6/5 interval.
