The ''' | The '''syntonic–rastmic equivalence continuum''' is a [[equivalence continuum|continuum]] of temperaments which equate a number of [[243/242|rastmas (243/242)]] with the [[81/80|syntonic comma (81/80)]]. | ||
All temperaments in the continuum satisfy 81/80 ~ (243/242)<sup>''n''</sup>. Varying ''n'' results in different temperaments listed in the table below. It converges to the 2.3.5.11 subgroup temperament of {243/242} as ''n'' approaches infinity. If we allow non-integer and infinite ''n'', the continuum describes the set of all 2.3.5.11 subgroup temperaments supported by [[mohaha]] due to it being the unique temperament that tempers out both commas and thus tempers out all combinations of them. The just value of ''n'' is 3. | All temperaments in the continuum satisfy {{nowrap|81/80 ~ (243/242)<sup>''n''</sup>}}. Varying ''n'' results in different temperaments listed in the table below.
