As such, this is an [[equivalence continuum]]. The natural name for it would be something like diatonic-chromatic, due to its equating a certain number of [[2187/2048]] Pythagorean chromatic semitones to a [[16/15]] pental diatonic semitone, but that is already taken by the [[father-3 equivalence continuum]]. It could be apotome-diatonic, but, as all of these temperaments are supported by 7c, the term "ocean" works.

Some of these temperaments are already named (especially those with low depth), but those with higher depth are not. As such, a series of names based on ocean stratification have been chosen.

Beyond hadal, there are no more patent vals (the next temperament being the vaguely ridiculous 47cc & 54b). As such, it is a natural place to stop.

While, with positive depth, the fifth gets flatter and flatter, with negative depth, it gets sharper and sharper, converging to 4\7 in each case.
