Sensi extensions
Sensi has multiple competing extensions to the 11-limit. The simplest 7-limit commas of sensi are starling (126/125) and sensamagic (245/243), and it can be viewed as the merge of the two corresponding rank-3 temperaments. These rank-3 temperaments are associated with distinct paths to the 11-limit. On one hand, starling strongly suggests tempering out 176/175, leading to thrush ({126/125, 176/175}). Notice the factorization 126/125 = (176/175)(441/440). On the other, sensamagic strongly suggests tempering out 385/384, leading to undecimal sensamagic ({245/243, 385/384}). Notice the factorization 245/243 = (385/384)(896/891). Taking either path for sensi leads us to one of the following entries:
- Sensor (19 & 27) – tempering out 126/125, 245/243, 385/384
- Sensus (19e & 27e) – tempering out 126/125, 176/175, 245/243
The two unite in 46et, where both 176/175 and 385/384, as well as their sum, 121/120, are tempered out. They can be extended to the 13- and 17-limit naturally by adding 91/90 and 154/153 to the comma list in this order. Then the generator represents 9/7, 13/10, and 22/17.
In addition, there are some low-complexity low-accuracy entries:
- Sensis (19 & 27e) – tempering out 56/55, 100/99, 245/243
- Sensa (19e & 27) – tempering out 55/54, 77/75, 99/98
Another possible path which relates a sense of compromise is to temper out 121/120, leading to bisensi. This has the effect of slicing the octave in two, and is supported by 38df, 46, and 54c.
