Original Wikitext content:
There are three scales with this [[MOSScales|MOS]] pattern that are significant minima of harmonic entropy. The first is [[Chromatic pairs#Antikythera|antikythera]], or no-3's [[Diaschismic family|srutal/pajara]], which is srutal/pajara without any intervals containing 3 in their prime factorization, so it becomes a 2.5.9 or 2.5.7.9 subgroup temperament. This means that the generator is twice that of srutal/pajara (210-220 cents rather than 105-110), since odd numbers of generators are only needed for intervals with 3. So this is a basically "whole tone" scale, but made uneven so some 2-step intervals are 5/4 and others are 9/7. The second is [[Dicot family|decimal]], in which two generators make a 4/3, and the third is [[Jubilismic clan|Doublewide]], in which the generator is 7/6 so the period minus the generator is 6/5. In addition to the true MOS with pattern LLsLLs, all these scales also come in a near-MOS version, LLLsLs, in which the period is the only generic interval that has more than two specific representatives. The true MOS is always proper, but the near-MOS is only proper if the generator is smaller than 2\10 of an octave (240 cents). ||||||||||||||||||||||~ Generator ||~ Cents ||~ Comments || || 1\6 || || || || || || || || || || || 200 ||= || || || || || || || 6\34 || || || || || || 211.76 ||= || || || || || || 5\28 || || || || || || || 214.29 ||= Antikythera is around here || || || || || 4\22 || || || || || || || || 218.18 ||= || || || || 3\16 || || || || || || || || || 225 ||= || || || || || || 8\42 || || || || || || || 228.57 ||= || || || || || || || || || || || || || 600/(1+phi) ||= Golden lemba || || || || || || || 13\68 || || || || || || 229.41 ||= || || || || || 5\26 || || || || || || || || 230.77 ||= || || || || || || 7\36 || || || || || || || 233.33 ||= Lemba is around here || || || 2\10 || || || || || || || || || || 240 ||= Boundary of propriety for near-MOS Optimum rank range (L/s=2/1) for MOS || || || || || 5\24 || || || || || || || || 250 ||= Decimal is around here || || || || 3\14 || || || || || || || || || 257.14 ||= || || || || || 4\18 || || || || || || || || 266.67 ||= || || || || || || 5\22 || || || || || || || 272.73 ||= || || || || || || || 6\26 || || || || || || 276.92 ||= || || || || || || || || 7\30 || || || || || 280 ||= || || || || || || || || || 8\34 || || || || 282.35 ||= || || || || || || || || || || 9\38 || || || 284.21 ||= || || || || || || || || || || || 10\42 || || 285.71 ||= || || || || || || || || || || || || 11\46 || 286.96 ||= Doublewide is around here || || 1\4 || || || || || || || || || || || 300 ||= ||
