'''Didacus''' is a temperament of the [[2.5.7 subgroup]], tempering out [[3136/3125]], the hemimean comma, such that two intervals of [[7/5]] reach the same point as three intervals of [[5/4]]; the generator is therefore (7/5)/(5/4) = [[28/25]], two of which stack to 5/4 and three of which stack to 7/5, meaning that the [[4:5:7]] chord is "locked" to (0 2 5) in terms of logarithmic size and generator steps. It presents one of the most efficient traversals of the no-threes subgroup, especially considering that some tunings of didacus extend neatly to 11 and 13 (as explained below).
