'''The Nexus''' is a collection of temperaments of different ranks, including subgroup temperaments, that all temper out the [[nexus comma]] – the unnoticeable comma with the ratio 1771561/1769472, and a monzo of {{monzo|-16 -3 0 0 6}}. Among the known branches of this collection are nexus, schisnex, nexiquart, altinex, and tribilo.


== Nexus ==
Because the nexus comma is the difference between (121/96)<sup>3</sup> and 2/1, all nexus temperaments divide 2/1 into three equal parts of (approximately) 400 cents.
The 11-limit parent comma for the Nexus family is the the nexus comma with a ratio of 1771561/1769472 and a monzo of {{monzo|-16 -3 0 0 6}}.  This is a rank-4 temperament in which the 5-limit and 7-limit parts are represented by independent generators.

This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

The Nexus is a collection of temperaments of different ranks, including subgroup temperaments, that all temper out the nexus comma – the unnoticeable comma with the ratio 1771561/1769472, and a monzo of [-16 -3 0 0 6⟩. Among the known branches of this collection are nexus, schisnex, nexiquart, altinex, and tribilo.

Because the nexus comma is the difference between (121/96)3 and 2/1, all nexus temperaments divide 2/1 into three equal parts of (approximately) 400 cents.

Rank-4 temperaments

See Catalog of rank-4 temperaments #Nexus (1771561/1769472).

The parent temperament of this whole collection is a rank-4 temperament. However, there are other rank-4 extensions which have yet to be explored.

Rank-3 temperaments

From the rank-4 parent temperament, there are several rank-3 temperaments that can be derived.

Temperaments not discussed here include:

Schisnex

Named by Aura in 2021, schisnex adds the nexus comma to the list of commas tempered out. Thus the generator for 7 is indepedent.
