==Function==
 
The small step of antidiatonic is a neutral second, which functions similar to both a whole tone and semitone.
 
'''Porcupine neutral seconds''' are larger neutral seconds most commonly between 2\15 and 3\22 which, consistent with Porcupine temperament, split a sharp 6/5 in half and a flat 4/3 into thirds. This functionally makes them a very flat minor whole tone, and are thus an easy way to make otherwise uninteresting progressions sound xenharmonic.
 
==Categorization==
 
Neutral seconds are generally considered to be between 1\9 and 1\7, being half of some sort of minor third. If semifourths are included, they can be as narrow as 1\10.
