The '''archipelago''' is a rag-tag collection of various regular temperaments of different ranks, including subgroup temperaments, associated with island temperament: the rank five thirteen limit temperament tempering out the island comma, [[676/675]]. Common to all of them is the observation that two intervals of 15/13 are equated with a fourth. Hence a 1-15/13-4/3 chord is a characteristic island chord, and 15/13 tends to be of low complexity. Also characteristic is the barbados triad, the 1-13/10-3/2 triad, as well as its inversion 1-15/13-3/2, the barbados tetrad, 1-13/10-3/2-26/15, plus the tetrads 1-13/10-3/2-8/5 and 1-13/10-3/2-9/5. The [[just intonation subgroup]] generated by 2, 4/3 and 15/13 is 2.3.13/5, and the barbados triad and tetrad are found in that, while the other two tetrads are found in the larger 2.3.5.13 subgroup.

Rank two temperaments tempering out 676/675 include the 13-limit versions of [[Ragismic microtemperaments #Hemiennealimmal|hemiennealimmal]], [[Breedsmic temperaments #Harry|harry]], [[Kleismic family #Tritikleismic|tritikleismic]], [[Kleismic family #Catakleismic|catakleimsic]], [[Marvel temperaments #Negri|negri]], [[Hemifamity temperaments #Mystery|mystery]], [[Hemifamity temperaments #Buzzard|buzzard]], [[Kleismic family #Quadritikleismic|quadritikleismic]].
Rank-2 temperaments tempering out 676/675 include the 13-limit versions of [[semaphoresmic clan #Negri|negri]], [[buzzardsmic clan #Buzzard|buzzard]], [[kleismic family #Catakleismic|catakleismic]], [[gravity family #Harry|harry]], [[kleismic family #Tritikleismic|tritikleismic]], [[quintosec family #Decoid|decoid]], [[kleismic family #Quadritikleismic|quadritikleismic]], [[landscape microtemperaments #Avicenna|avicenna]], [[septiennealimmal clan #Hemiennealimmal|hemiennealimmal]], [[wizmic microtemperaments #Tertiathirds|tertiathirds]], and [[aberschismic temperaments #Mystery|mystery]].


It is interesting to note the Graham complexity of 15/13 in these temperaments. This is 18 in hemiennealimmal, 6 in harry, 9 in tritikleismic, 3 in catakleismic, 2 in negri, 2 in buzzard, 12 in quadritikleismic. Catakleismic and buzzard are particularly interesting from an archipelago point of view. Mystery is special case, since the 15/13 part of it belongs to [[29edo]] alone.

Perhaps the simplest method of making use of the barbados triad and other characteristic island harmonies is to strip things down to essentials by tempering the 2.3.13/5 [[just intonation subgroup]]. The [[minimax tuning]] for this makes the generator the cube root of 20/13, or 248.5953 cents. Edos which may be used for it are [[24edo]], [[29edo]], [[53edo]] and [[111edo]], with [[mos scale]]s of size 5, 9, 14, 19, 24 and 29 making for a good variety of scales.
