Dicot family
The 5-limit parent comma for the dicot family is 25/24, the classical chromatic semitone. The generator is a classical third (major and minor mean the same thing), and two such thirds give a fifth. In fact, (5/4)2 = (3/2)(25/24).
Possible tunings for dicot are 7edo, 10edo, 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 this is 5-limit, and like any temperament which seems to involve "pretending", dicot is close to the edge of what can sensibly be called a temperament at all. In other words, it is an exotemperament.

Overview to extensions
The second comma of the normal comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. Septimal dicot adds 36/35, sharp adds 28/27, and dichotic adds 64/63, all retaining the same period and generator.
Decimal adds 49/48, sidi adds 245/243, and jamesbond 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.
