Bixby

This page presents a topic of primarily mathematical interest. While it is derived from sound mathematical principles, its applications in terms of utility for actual music may be limited, highly contrived, or as yet unknown.

Bixby is an exotemperament that tempers out 4/3, setting the perfect fifth equal to the octave. It can be represented by only 1edo in its patent val.

It is the first comptonesque temperament; equivalently, it is the first circular temperament of 3. It is also the first temperament of a square particular comma.
