Original Wikitext content:

In [[13-limit]] [[Just Intonation]], 13/11 is the tridecimal minor third (or Neo-Gothic minor third), measuring about 289.2¢. It is the difference between the 11th and 13th harmonics. The 11th harmonic ([[11_8|11/8]], about 551.3¢) and the 13th harmonic ([[13_8|13/8]], about 840.5¢) are both quite xenharmonic and demand new interval categories, but 13/11 can be likened unto some kind of low minor third. It can even function as such in a relatively consonant 13-limit Neo-Gothic minor triad which goes 22:26:33, with a [[3_2|3/2]] perfect fifth between 33 and 22. Compare this to 22:26:32 (11:13:16), which has the much more dissonant [[16_11|16/11]] in place of 3/2. The latter triad sounds more like a very xenharmonic version of a diminished triad, and could not be confused with simpler diminished triads such as 5:6:7.
