Given two subgroup temperaments A and B, temperament A is said to ''support'' temperament B if and only if:
Given two subgroup temperaments ''A'' and ''B'', temperament ''A'' is said to ''support'' temperament ''B'' if and only if:
* Temperament B's JI subgroup is a "sub-subgroup" of temperament A's JI subgroup
* ''B''{{'s}} JI subgroup is a "sub-subgroup" of ''A''{{'s}} JI subgroup
* Temperament B's kernel is a subgroup of temperament A's kernel
* ''B''{{'s}} kernel is a subgroup of ''A''{{'s}} kernel


For instance, the 11-limit 22p patent val, treated as a subgroup temperament, is 2.3.5.7.11 {{val|22 35 51 62 76}}. This temperament supports all of the following other subgroup temperaments:

Expansions are very similar to extensions—probably the more important notion, which is given below—but where the rank is permitted to increase. So 2.3.5.7 {{nowrap|81/80 & 126/125}} is an expansion of 2.3.5 81/80 (and an extension), but 2.3.5.7 81/80 is also an expansion of 2.3.5 81/80 (which is not an extension).

If ''A'' is an expansion of ''B'', then ''B'' clearly "supports" ''A''. The rank of ''A'' is also greater than or equal to the rank of ''B''. However, these two properties are not sufficient to support an expansion; ''B'' must also be the (unique) retraction of ''A'' to ''B''{{'}}s subgroup. For instance, the rank-3 2.3.5.7.11 {{nowrap|81/80 & 128/125}} temperament, which is basically 5-limit 12p with two additional "independent" generators for 7/1 and 11/1, is ''not'' an expansion of 2.3.5 81/80, because if you retract 2.3.5.7.11 {{nowrap|81/80 & 128/125}} to the 2.3.5 subgroup you get 2.3.5 {{nowrap|81/80 & 128/125}} rather than 2.3.5 81/80. Put another way, 2.3.5 {{nowrap|81/80 & 128/125}} (12p) also isn't an "expansion" of 2.3.5 81/80 at all.

We can strengthen our notion of expansion and retraction to get to extension and restriction.
