Original Wikitext content:
The //neutral tetrad//, or rastmic tetrad, is an 11-limit [[Dyadic chord#Essentially tempered dyadic chords|essentially tempered dyadic chord]] consisting of a stack of three 11/9 neutral third intervals followed by a 12/11, which closes at the octave since the rastma, 243/242, is tempered out. It is the 243/242-tempering of the 27-limit JI chord 18:22:27:33, or 1-11/9-3/2-11/6, and contains the neutral triad, the tempering of 18:22:27, and may be extended to the neutral quintad, 18:22:27:30:33, which is 1-11/9-3/2-5/3-11/6, a 15-limit essentially tempered chord. Equal temperaments containing neutral tetrads include 17, 24, 31, 34, 41, 55, 58, 65, 72, 89, 130, 171, 185 and 202, and it is a highly characteristic in particular of [[24edo]], which does an excellent version of it.
