If Argent temperament splits the period into segments in the ratio of the silver ratio's isotope, what if we split the period into segments in the ratio of the silver mean itself? That gives us a generator of approximately 0.292893, which has been used by Billy Stiltner, who calls it Imaginary.

Twice 0.292893 is equal to 0.585786, which is the complement of Argent Temperament's generator, 0.414214. Despite this similarity, these two generate tremendously different scales (compare with the silver horogram shown earlier).
