This is an 11-limit version of orwell that I've been playing with from time to time, although I've mostly been using 7-limit scales recently. You can fine-tune it to get a 22-note MOS that represents all 11-limit intervals consistently (anything between 1/1 and 2/1 with a numerator of 11 or less). That's a characteristic that most of the good 7-limit temperaments seem to have, including meantone, miracle, kleismic, porcupine, pajara, injera, and even some of the more exotic ones like #82 (which I've been calling "lemba").
