Extending mitonic to the 11-limit is not so simple. There are two mappings that are comparable in complexity and error: ''mineral'' (46&171) and ''ore'' (46&125). The mineral temperament tempers out 441/440 and 16384/16335 in the 11-limit | Extending mitonic to the 11-limit is not so simple. There are two mappings that are comparable in complexity and error: ''mineral'' (46&171) and ''ore'' (46&125). The mineral temperament tempers out 441/440 and 16384/16335 in the 11-limit. In the 17-limit, both mineral and ore temper out 833/832, 1225/1224, 1701/1700, and 4096/4095 (2.3.5.7.13.17 commas). The word "mineral" is related to "mine" (an excavation from which ore or solid minerals are taken) and "miner" (a person who works in a mine, also as a pun on "minor"). | ||
