24ed5
| ← 23ed5 | 24ed5 | 25ed5 → |
Division of the 5th harmonic into 24 equal parts (24ed5) is related to the miracle temperament. The step size is about 116.0964 cents. It is similar to every third step of 31edo, but with the 5/1 rather than the 2/1 being just. This tuning has a meantone fifth as the number of divisions of the 5th harmonic is multiple of 4.
Theory
From a no-twos-or-threes point of view, 24ed5 offers a particularly good tuning of the very low-badness 5.7.11 subgroup temperament named as juggernaut, tempering out 125/121. This has a CTE generator of exactly 7/5 (in 24ed5 approximated as 5 steps) and a period of 1\2ed5 or the square root of five (which is equated to 11/5).

24ed5 as a generator
One step of 24ed5 is just flat of 3\31, an acceptable generator for miracle temperament, so it can be used as a retraction of miracle. However, miracle maps 5/1 to 23 secors and 3 dieses, not 24 secors.
