	The '''syntonic–diatonic equivalence continuum''' is a [[equivalence continuum\|continuum]] of [[regular temperament\|temperaments]] which equate a number of [[81/80\|syntonic commas (81/80)]] with the [[256/243\|Pythagorean limma (256/243)]]. This continuum is theoretically interesting in that these are all [[5-limit]] temperaments [[support]]ed by [[5edo]].		The '''syntonic–limmic''' (or '''syntonic–diatonic''') '''equivalence continuum''' is a [[equivalence continuum\|continuum]] of [[regular temperament\|temperaments]] which equate a number of [[81/80\|syntonic commas (81/80)]] with the [[256/243\|Pythagorean limma (256/243)]]. This continuum is theoretically interesting in that these are all [[5-limit]] temperaments [[support]]ed by [[5edo]].

	All temperaments in the continuum satisfy {{nowrap\|(81/80)<sup>''n''</sup> ~ 256/243}}. Varying ''n'' results in different temperaments listed in the table below. It converges to [[meantone]] as ''n'' approaches infinity. If we allow non-integer and infinite ''n'', the continuum describes the set of all 5-limit temperaments supported by 5edo due to it being the unique equal temperament that [[tempering out\|tempers out]] both commas and thus tempers out all combinations of them. The just value of ''n'' is 4.1952…, and temperaments near this tend to be the most accurate ones.		All temperaments in the continuum satisfy {{nowrap\|(81/80)<sup>''n''</sup> ~ 256/243}}.

	We may invert the continuum by setting ''m'' such that {{nowrap\| 1/''m'' + 1/''n'' {{=}} 1 }}. This may be called the ''~~superpyth–diatonic~~ equivalence continuum'', which is essentially the same thing. The just value of ''m'' is 1.3130…. The [[superpyth comma]] is both larger and more complex than the syntonic comma. As such, this continuum does not contain as many useful temperaments, but still interesting nonetheless.
