//**34edo**// divides the octave into 34 equal steps of approximately 35.29412 cents. 34edo contains two [[17edo]]'s and the half-octave tritone of 600 cents. As a Fibonacci number, 34edo contains a close approximation to the irrational interval phi -- 21 degrees of 34edo, approximately 741.2 cents. Repeated iterations of this interval generates [[MOSScales|Moment of Symmetry]] scales with near-phi relationships between the step sizes.

===34edo and phi===
As a Fibonacci number, 34edo contains a fraction of an octave which is close approximation to the irrational interval phi -- 21 degrees of 34edo, approximately 741.2 cents. Repeated iterations of this interval generates [[MOSScales|Moment of Symmetry]] scales with near-phi relationships between the step sizes. As a 2.3.5.13 temperament, the 21\34 generator is an approximate 20/13, and the temperament tempers out 512/507 and 140625/140608. From the tempering of 512/507, two 16/13 neutral thirds are an approximate 3/2, defining an essentially tempered neutral triad with a sharp rather than a flat fifth.
