8L 5s is a scale pattern that expands on oneirotonic (5L 3s). This MOS is the chromatic scale of Semidim, Tridec, Ammonite and Petrtri temperaments. It represents tempered chains of the 13:10 or 17:13 semisixth, thus rendering 10:13:17 as an equidistant triad and tempering out 170:169. Also, the ratio between the generator of this MOS and its inverse is close to logarithmic phi, or even logarithmic phi itself.
