By tempering it out, the '''jacobin temperament''' is defined. Interestingly, [[1789edo]] is an edo that [[support]]s the jacobin temperament. You may find a list of good JI-approximating edos that support this temperament below. Although 1789edo has a unique position due to its number of steps being a hallmark year of the French Revolution, it is more rational to use the other edos for this temperament. Miscellaneous temperaments tempering out this comma are collected in [[The Jacobins]].
By tempering it out, the '''jacobin temperament''' is defined. Interestingly, [[1789edo]] is an edo that [[support]]s the jacobin temperament - and is consistent to distance 2 on the subgroup 2.5.11.13, the subgroup of the comma. Although 1789edo has a unique position due to its number of steps being a hallmark year of the {{W|French Revolution}}, it is more rational to use the other edos for this temperament. Miscellaneous temperaments tempering out this comma are collected in [[The Jacobins]].


The 17-limit factorization shows us a natural path of extension, also given below.  
The 17-limit factorization shows us a natural path of extension by adding 12376/12375. Equally, it can be conceptualized as a rank-2 temperament in 2.13/10.11 subgroup, in which case it is called ''jacobin-naiadic'', after [[13/10]] being called a naiadic by interval class.

This comma was apparently named by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2014 for reasons unknown<ref>[https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=List_of_superparticular_intervals&diff=next&oldid=18864 Xenharmonic Wiki | ''List of superparticular intervals (Revision as of 23:46, 13 June 2014 by Wikispaces>genewardsmith)'']</ref>. An hypothesis is that "jacobin" refers to the {{w|Jacobins}}, a political group founded in 1789 during the French Revolution, since this comma is tempered out by [[1789edo]], a tuning which, furthermore, is [[consistent]] to distance 2 in the 2.5.11.13-subgroup-limited [[13-odd-limit]], reinforcing the importance of this comma in this tuning.
