13ed5/2 is the equal division of the 5/2 interval into 13 parts of 122.024 cents each. It roughly corresponds to 10edo, and their patent vals match up until the 7-limit.

Theory

Like 10edo, 13ed5/2 tempers out 50/49 in the no-threes 7-limit, supporting 5/2-equivalent jubilic temperament with a generator of ~7/5. In this regard, it could be considered a "no-threes cousin" of 12edo and 13edt, having the basic tuning for the octatonic scale of 5/2-equivalent jubilic (5L 3s⟨5/2⟩). It also tempers out 56/55 in the 11-limit and 26/25, 52/49 and 65/64 in the 13-limit.
