This page is about the regular temperament. For the ploidacot signature, see Ploidacot/Dicot.

Dicot is an exotemperament that tempers out 25/24. It is also the first fully prototypical dicot temperament. It tempers 6/5 and 5/4 into the same neutral third interval, which, when the fifth is tuned pure, is sqrt(3/2). It is useful to represent the structure of 5-limit harmonies without fully representing them in its greater accuracy, with mos scales 3L 4s and 7L 3s.

It can be extended by tempering out 15/14 and 36/35 in the 7-limit, though this could turn the 3L 4s mos into a 4L 3s mos. This makes 7/6 and 9/7 equated to the neutral third, viewing 6:7:9 as a tertian chord.

Another notable extension of dicot is decimal, which splits the octave in two for 7/5~10/7 by tempering out 50/49, and equates 7/6 and 8/7 to the tritone complement of 5/4~6/5, neutralizing the 6:7:8 chord as well. This represents the structure of 7-limit harmonies in a way that is not based on tertian harmony and a heptatonic system, but rather a decatonic one.

For technical data, see Dicot family #Dicot.
