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.

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.

The 5-limit version of uncle tempers out [[4096/3645]]. It is generated by a fifth that is supposedly sharper than [[5edo|3\5]], so it leads to an [[5L 3s|oneirotonic]] scale, or otherwise a [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale with negative small steps. The interval class of 5 is found at -6 fifths, as a major 2-step in oneirotonic, or a diminished fifth (C–Gb) in diatonic. It corresponds to {{nowrap| ''n'' {{=}} -1/2 }} or {{nowrap| ''m'' {{=}} 1/3 }}.

Laconic tempers out [[2187/2000]], which is the difference between a stack of three [[10/9|ptolemaic whole tones (10/9)]]'s and a perfect fifth (3/2). Although a higher-error temperament, it does pop up enough in the low-numbered edos to be useful, most notably in [[16edo]] and [[21edo]]. The only 7-limit extension that makes any sense to use is to add the gamelisma to the comma list. It corresponds to {{nowrap| ''n'' {{=}} -3 }}.

Named by [[John Moriarty]], university is the {{nowrap| 5 & 6b }} temperament, and tempers out [[144/125]], the triptolemaic diminished third. It corresponds to {{nowrap| ''n'' {{=}} −3/2 }} and {{nowrap| ''m'' {{=}} 3/5 }}. In this temperament, two instances of [[6/5]] make a [[5/4]], and three make a [[3/2]]. Equating 6/5 with [[8/7]] (which makes sense since it is already very flat in the most accurate tunings of this temperament) leads to [[Gamelismic clan #Gidorah|gidorah]], and 6/5 with [[7/6]] leads to [[Mint temperaments #Penta|penta]].
