Since the sensamagic comma, 245/243, contains no 2 in its [[monzo|factorization]], only primes 3, 5, and 7, it can be tempered out in a [[3/1|tritave (3/1)]]-repeating context, where the generator (9/7) is now the tritave-reduced 7th subharmonic, two of which give the 5th harmonic. This is known as [[BPS|Bohlen-Pierce-Stearns (BPS)]] temperament, and it generates a [[4L 5s (3/1-equivalent)|4L 5s]] scale against the tritave (sometimes known as ''Lambda''). Where this temperament connects to sensi is that, at 7 generators, BPS reaches an interval that it identifies with [[125/63]], which is rather close to the octave; sensi is obtained by treating this interval as the mapping of 2/1, which provides the interesting notion of using sensi in a 3/1-periodic 3.5.7.2 setting.
