The 25cent difference in the steps can have a similar effect the scales of Olympos have with buried enharmonic intervals. It can be treated as 4 interwoven diminished seventh arpeggios, or as 2 interwoven 8-edo scales (narrow 11-limit whole tones which when stacked produce minor third intervals). 16-tone has the same stacked minor thirds diminished seventh scale/chord available in 12, and It is often cited that the most consonant chords involve the tritone. (However with the correct timbre, one can suggest consonance with any tuning.) There are two minor seventh intervals. harmonic seventh at step 13, a 7/4 ratio approximation, off by 3.5879 cents, followed by an undecimal 11/6 ratio or neutral seventh.

One neat xenharmonic aspect of 16-tone is how the 11-limit whole tone scale using the neutral second, interlocks with the diminished scale, similar to ~~how~~ the augmented scale and whole tone relationship in 12-tone (the whole tone divides the major third in 12, in 16-it's the minor third).

One neat xenharmonic aspect of 16-tone is how the 11-limit whole tone scale using the neutral second, interlocks with the diminished scale, similar to the augmented scale and whole tone relationship in 12-tone (the whole tone divides the major third in 12, in 16-it's the minor third).

In 16-tone, because of the 25 cent difference in the steps from 100 in 12-tone, a western "twelve tone ear" hears dissonance with more complexity and less familiarity than even 24-tone, yet within a more manageable number of tones and a strange familiarity - the diminished. Hence, why 16-tone is a truly Xenharmonic system.
