The modus temperament is one of the 7-limit extensions of tetracot, the 5-limit temperament tempering out the tetracot comma (20000/19683), and is naturally a full 13-limit temperament.
In addition to the tetracot comma, modus tempers out 64/63, making it a member of the archytas clan. As such, septimal intervals are tempered together with Pythagorean intervals; in particular, a stack of two perfect fifths octave reduced represents 8/7~9/8 at 8 generator steps. Modus also tempers out 4375/4374, making it a ragismic temperament. In the 11- and 13-limit it can be viewed as a weak extension of suhajira as well.
Additionally, the generator can be taken to represent 21/19, which gives us an extension for prime 19 at -5 generator steps.
See Tetracot family #Modus for technical data.
