Unidec is a temperament generated by a wide major third representing 80/63 which can be taken as 14/11 from the 11-limit onwards. Two generators minus a semi-octave period make a ~8/7, and three ~8/7's make a perfect fifth of 3/2, tempering out 1029/1024, the gamelisma, and 4375/4374, the ragisma, with the 11-limit extension adding 385/384 or 441/440 to the comma list.

Unidec has two viable 13-limit extensions: hendec and ekadash.

See Gamelismic clan #Unidec for technical data.
