2.3.5.13 subgroup: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

{{stub}}The 2.3.5.13 subgroup is a [[just intonation subgroup]] consisting of [[Rational interval|rational intervals]] where 2, 3, 5, and 13 are the only allowable [[Prime factor|prime factors]], so that every such interval may be written as a ratio of integers which are products of 2, 5, and 7. This is an infinite set and still infinite even if we restrict consideration to a single octave. Some examples within the [[octave]] include [[5/4]], [[3/2]], [[13/8]], [[13/10]], [[39/32]] and so on.

It can be thought out as an extension of the familiar 5-limit with a tridecimal xenharmonic touch, or as a retraction of the 13-limit obtained by removing 7 and 11.

[[Cata]] provides a fairly low complexity approximation to the subgroup, using ~6/5 as a generator, finding ~5/4 at +6 gens, ~3/2 at +7 gens, and ~13/8 at +14 gens.

[[Pythagorean tuning]] also works surprisingly well, where the diminished fourth (-8 fifths) [[8192/6561]] and the triple augmented fourth (+20 fifths) 3486784401/2147483648 sound extremely close to 5/4 and 13/8 respectively, wherein tempering the [[schisma]] and [[tridecapyth comma]] provide a fairly more complex but 3/2-[[Telicity|telic]] microtemperament, of which 53edo offers ~~a great~~ approximation.

Pure fifths and octaves on the other hand, offer 5 and 13 with -1.954c and +1.428c of error.

Other approximations of [[schismic]] reach prime 13 through other means, such as [[hemischis]], dividing prime 3 in 2 and finding 3/2 at +2 gens, 5/4 at -16 gens, and 13/8 at -13 gens.
