Dicot family

The 5-limit parent comma for the dicot family is 25/24, the classical chromatic semitone. Its monzo is [-3 -1 2⟩, and flipping that yields ⟨⟨2 1 -3]] for the wedgie. This tells us the generator is a classical third (major and minor mean the same thing), and that two such thirds give a fifth. In fact, (5/4)2 = (3/2)(25/24).

Possible tunings for dicot are 7edo, 17edo, 24edo using the val ⟨24 38 55] (24c) and 31edo using the val ⟨31 49 71] (31c). In a sense, what dicot is all about is using neutral thirds and pretending that is 5-limit, and like any temperament which seems to involve pretending, dicot is at the edge of what can sensibly be called a temperament at all. In other words, it is an exotemperament.

Dicot

Subgroup: 2.3.5

Comma list: 25/24

Mapping: [⟨1 1 2], ⟨0 2 1]]

mapping generators: ~2, ~5/4

Optimal tuning (POTE): ~2 = 1\1, ~5/4 = 348.594

Tuning ranges:

  • 5-odd-limit diamond monotone: ~5/4 = [300.000, 400.000] (1\4 to 1\3)
  • 5-odd-limit diamond tradeoff: ~5/4 = [315.641, 386.314] (full comma to untempered)
  • 5-odd-limit diamond monotone and tradeoff: ~5/4 = [315.641, 386.314]

Optimal ET sequence: 3, 4, 7, 17, 24c, 31c

Badness: 0.013028

Overview to extensions

The second comma of the normal comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. Septimal dicot, with wedgie ⟨⟨2 1 3 -3 -1 4]] adds 36/35, sharp with wedgie ⟨⟨2 1 6 -3 4 11]] adds 28/27, and dichotic with wedgie ⟨⟨2 1 -4 -3 -12 -12]] adds 64/63, all retaining the same period and generator.

Decimal with wedgie ⟨⟨4 2 2 -6 -8 -1]] adds 49/48, sidi with wedgie ⟨⟨4 2 9 -3 6 15]] adds 245/243, and jamesbond with wedgie ⟨⟨0 0 7 0 11 16]] adds 81/80. Here decimal divides the period to 1/2 octave, and sidi uses 9/7 as a generator, with two of them making up the combined 5/3 and 8/5 neutral sixth. Jamesbond has a period of 1/7 octave, and uses an approximate 15/14 as generator.
