Miracle is an exceptionally efficient linear temperament which is a member of both the marvel temperaments and the gamelismic clan. It is quite accurate, with TOP error only 0.63 cents/octave, meaning intervals of the 11-limit tonality diamond are represented with only one or two cents of error. Yet it is also very "low complexity" (efficient), as evidenced by the high density of 11-odd-limit ratios (in bold) in the following table:

Some temperaments have 11/9 as a "neutral third", meaning it's exactly half of a 3/2 (tempering out 243/242), and other temperaments (in the gamelismic clan) have 8/7 as exactly a third of 3/2. Miracle is distinguished by doing both of these things at the same time, so 3/2 is divided into six equal parts. This is in fact the generator of miracle temperament, called a "secor", and it represents both 16/15 and 15/14.
Miracle can also be thought of as a cluster temperament with 10 clusters of notes in an octave. The small chroma interval between adjacent notes in each cluster is very versatile, representing 45/44 ~ 49/48 ~ 50/49 ~ 55/54 ~ 56/55 ~ 64/63 all tempered together.
