Lua error in Module:Infobox_regtemp at line 138: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'generator_size' (a nil value).

Dicot is an exotemperament that tempers out 25/24. It is also the first fully prototypical dicot temperament. It tempers out 6/5 and 5/4 into the same "neutral third" interval, which, when the fifth is tuned pure, is sqrt(3/2). It is useful to represent the structure of 5-limit harmonies without fully representing them in its greater accuracy.

It can be extended by tempering out 15/14 and 36/35 in the 7-limit, though in practice this turns the 3L 4s MOS into a 4L 3s MOS.

For technical data, see Dicot family #Dicot.
