Syntonic–31 equivalence continuum: Difference between revisions

The '''syntonic–31 equivalence continuum''' is a [[equivalence continuum|continuum]] of 5-limit temperaments which equate a number of [[81/80|syntonic commas (81/80)]] with a [[31st-octave temperaments|31-comma ({{monzo| -49 31 }})]]. This continuum is theoretically interesting in that these are all 5-limit temperaments supported by [[31edo]].

All temperaments in the continuum satisfy {{nowrap|(81/80)^''n'' ~ {{monzo| -49 31 }}}}. 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 [[31edo]] due to it being the unique equal temperament that tempers out both commas and thus tempers out all combinations of them. The just value of ''n'' is approximately 7.46781…, and temperaments having ''n'' near this value tend to be the most accurate ones.

Ampersand is the 5-limit version of miracle, tempering out the [[ampersand comma]], which is the difference between a perfect fifth and a stack of six [[16/15|classical diatonic semitones]]. It can be described as the {{nowrap| 31 & 41 }} temperament, corresponding to {{nowrap| ''n'' {{=}} 6 }}.
