This page presents a novelty topic. It features ideas which are less likely to find practical applications in xenharmonic music. It may contain numbers that are impractically large, exceedingly complex, or chosen arbitrarily. Novelty topics are often developed by a single person or a small group. As such, this page may also feature idiosyncratic terms, notations, or conceptual frameworks.

These calculations use inharmonic TE. Subgroup TE will not work because the basis is not a subgroup of the rational numbers or has a redundant entry or something else is wrong.
