But porkypine is the canonical extension?

I see no reason why the page should not start with 2.3.5, then go to 2.3.5.11, and then proceed to extensions to 7 and 13.

2.3.5.11-subgroup porcupine ("porkypine") is a canonical extension, so is 7- and 11-limit porcupine. Since porcupine is a full 11-limit temp, there's no reason to pick the subgroups within it instead of simply going 5-, 7-, and 11-limit. FloraC (talk) 10:28, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
Sure, but like, it makes no musical sense to restrict porcupine to 2.3.5.7. Does 7 somehow have some inherent priority over 11? --VectorGraphics (talk) 20:08, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
Yes it does. FloraC (talk) 11:30, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
How so, given porcupine extensions agree on the mapping for 11 more than they do for 7? --VectorGraphics (talk) 16:01, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
