'''16ed5/3''' (or less accurately '''16edVI''') is the [[EdVI|equal division of the just major sixth]] into sixteen parts of 55.2724 [[cent|cents]] each, corresponding to 21.7106 [[edo]]. It is very closely related to the [[Escapade family|escapade temperament]].
'''16ed5/3''' (or less accurately '''16edVI''') is the [[EdVI|equal division of the just major sixth]] into sixteen parts of 55.2724 [[cent|cents]] each, corresponding to 21.7106 [[edo]]. It is very closely related to the [[Escapade family|escapade temperament]].


It very accurately approximates a number of low complexity just intervals, such as: 4/3 (<1¢), 5/4 (<1¢), 11/8 (<2¢), 11/10 (<1¢), 16/15 (<2¢), and 25/16 (<2¢). It also approximates the just fifth and octave to within 20¢, making it a flexible non-octave scale.  
It very accurately approximates a number of low complexity just intervals, such as: [[4/3]] (<1¢), [[5/4]] (<1¢), [[11/8]] (<2¢), [[11/10]] (<1¢), [[16/15]] (<2¢), and [[25/16]] (<2¢). It also approximates the [[3/2|just fifth]] and [[2/1|octave]] to within 20¢, making it a flexible non-octave scale.  Notably, having a period of [[5/3]], the diatonic minor third ([[6/5]]) is the period-reduced diatonic octave. This means both are approximated identically (16¢ sharp).

16ed5/3 can be notated using steps 7 (~5/4) and 9 (~4/3) as generators, as these are accurate to within 0.6¢. The resulting scale is a heptatonic 2L 5s (similar to the octave repeating antidiatonic).

== Temperaments ==
The 2L 5s scale is generated by a very accurate [[4/3]], such that two of them wind up on a near exact [[16/9]], which period-reduces to [[16/15]] (the minor mossecond). This interval taken 2 times is approximated by an [[8/7]], and taken 4 times is approximated by a [[6/5]] (or [[2/1]] in the next mosoctave). These 2 equivalencies result in two tempered commas: the marvel comma - [[225/224]] ((<sup>16</sup>/<sub>15</sub>)<sup>2</sup>=(<sup>8</sup>/<sub>7</sub>)), and the diaschisma - [[2048/2025]] ((<sup>16</sup>/<sub>15</sub>)<sup>3</sup>=(<sup>6</sup>/<sub>5</sub>)). The diaschisma can also be tempered by taking 5 generators to mean a [[3/2]] ((<sup>4</sup>/<sub>3</sub>)<sup>5</sup>=(<sup>3</sup>/<sub>2</sub>)·(<sup>5</sup>/<sub>3</sub>)<sup>2</sup>). The tempered marvel comma also means that the two large [[Tritone|tritones]] ([[64/45|pental]] and [[10/7|septimal]]) are addressed by the same scale step. The tempered diaschisma, on the other hand, means that both pental tritones are also addressed by the same scale step. [[User:Ayceman|I]] propose the name '''tristone''' for this temperament, as 3 semitones make a period-reduced octave, and it alludes to the tritone tempering.
