This page presents a novelty topic.

It may contain ideas which are less likely to find practical applications in music, or numbers or structures that are arbitrary or exceedingly small, large, or complex.

Novelty topics are often developed by a single person or a small group. As such, this page may also contain idiosyncratic terms, notation, or conceptual frameworks.

Theory

1793edo is a good 2.3.5.11.13.17 subgroup system, in which it has a comma basis 4225/4224, 6656/6655, 42500/42471, 4787200/4782969, 703125/702559. Higher prime harmonics it supports to <25% error are 23, 31, 41, 53, 61.

If a mapping for 7 is added, this gives two interpretations. First is the patent val, which has a comma basis 2080/2079, 3025/3024, 4225/4224, 5832/5831, 14875/14872, 108086/108085. The 1793d val has a comma basis 1225/1224, 8624/8619, 12376/12375, 14400/14399, 42500/42471, 29755593/29744000. It provides the optimal patent val for the luminal temperament.

1793edo tempers out the jacobin comma, which is quite thematic given that 1793 is another notable year of the French Revolution, just as 1789 is. The comma basis for the 1789 & 1793 temperament in the 2.5.11.13 subgroup is 6656/6655, [-176 23 -2 35.

1793edo has divisors 1, 11, 163.
