Edφ

Various equal divisions of the octave have close approximations of acoustic phi, or $φ$, ≈833.090296357¢.

If the $m^{th}$ step of $n$ed2 is a close approximation of $φ$, the $n^{th}$ step of $m$ed$φ$ will be a close approximation of 2.

For example, the 7th step of 10ed2 is 840¢, and the 10th step of 7ed$φ$ is ≈1190.128995¢. As another example, the 9th step of 13ed2 is ≈830.7692308¢, and the 13th step of 9ed$φ$ is ≈1203.35265¢.

Such $m$ed$φ$ are interesting as variants of their respective $n$ed$2$, introducing some combination tone powers.

A couple such scales can be found in the Huygens-Fokker Foundation's Scala scale archive. They were described by Walter O'Connell in his 1993 paper The Tonality of the Golden Section. The 18th root of φ scale doubles the resolution of the 9th root scale featured above, as so as the 9th root of φ scale is similar to 13ed2 the 18th root of φ scale is similar to 26edo (which does a notably better job of approximating 3-, 5-, and 7- limit harmonies).
