Original Wikitext content:

The term "pentachord" may be used to refer to a scale segment in which a [[Perfect fourth|perfect fourth]] is divided into four steps. This follows the usage of [[Paul Erlich]] (see [[omnitetrachordality]]), and is a generalization of the classical "[[tetrachord]]," a division of the perfect fourth into three steps. [[31edo]]'s perfect fourth can be found at 13 degrees, and measures approximately 503.226¢. A complete list of the 66 tetrachords of 31edo can be found at [[Tricesimoprimal Tetrachordal Tesseract]]. In spite of this page's name, the organizing figure for the 31edo tetrachords is a triangle. The 220 pentachords are analogously arranged here on a tetrahedron, as follows:

Note that the "T" in some of the pentachords above is short for "ten" and represents an interval of 10 degrees of 31edo (10\31).

The pentachords in boldface are the ones which exclude the 1-degree interval ([[diesis]]); this may be a desirable constraint for melodic considerations. There are 56 pentachords of this type. Further limiting the set to those pentachords that exclude both the diesis and the 2-degree interval gives us a list of four quasi-equal pentachords that form the core of this figure: 4333, 3433, 3343 and 3334. Those familiar with the [[31edo MOS scales|MOS scales of 31edo]] may recognize this pentachord as belonging to Miracle[10].

It should be mentioned that these divisions can be applied in any instance where a span of 13 units is divided into four groups. For instance, these may be interpreted as every possible tetrad within one octave of [[13edo]], or one [[tritave]] of [[BP]], etc.
