Photosynthesis is the nonoctave temperament tempering out the comma 243/(5 ϕ^8) in the ϕ.3.5 fractional subgroup, equating 5 3/1 with 5/1. It has a period of acoustic phi and a generator of a major second just flat of 3/(ϕ^2), the "phi-reduced 3rd harmonic". It possesses MOS scales of the families 3L 1s<ϕ>, 4L 3s<ϕ>, 4L 7s<ϕ>, and 11L 4s<ϕ>.

Note: This data is not 100% exact, it was calculated using a very close JI approximation of acoustic phi rather than acoustic phi itself
