This MOS scale pattern is most notable for corresponding to the 15-note [[3.5 subgroup]] scale generated by a just [[5/3]], which has an L:s ratio of approximately 1.57. In this case, the large step represents [[27/25]] and the small step represents [[1220703125/1162261467]]. It is the smallest MOS generated by the [[3.5 subgroup]] which does not have 2 large steps, and the smallest in which the entire range of generators can reasonably be taken as an approximation of [[5/3]].

Tritave-equivalent temperaments ~~with~~ a near-just or slightly flat [[5/3]] will also produce this MOS scale. The [[3.5.11 subgroup]] [[microtemperament]] [[delta centauri]] (which is generated by a near-just ~5/3 such that 9 generators stacked represent ~[[11/9]]) has this as its 15-note MOS scale. Interestingly, the chroma (L-s) represents [[125/121]] in this case. If you want the high accuracy offered by this temperament then a ~5/3 generator between [[28edt|15\28edt]] and [[43edt|23\43edt]] is best (corresponding to L:s between 3:2 and 2:1).

The most optimized tunings of [[Arcturus]] temperament have the ~5/3 slightly sharper than in [[13edt]] and thus generate this MOS, but Arcturus has a quite wide range of reasonable generators so it is not a given that it will generate this MOS.
