m add (81/80)^k ~ 128/125 as an alternative choice of coordinates unifying both continuums

Alternatively, because the [[duodene|5-limit otonal detemper]] of 12edo is a 4x3 rectangle (known as the [[duodene]]), we may be interested in expressing the continuum in terms of the boundary commas of this detemper, that is, as ([[81/80]])<sup>''k''</sup> ~ ([[128/125]]). This corresponds to these commas' structural significance via 128/125 being entirely in the 2.5 subgroup while 81/80 explains 5 in the simplest way relative to the 3-limit. This choice of coordinates has the advantage of finding all temperaments discussed in a relatively intuitive way and is noted for its nontrivial relation to the other better-motivated coordinates discussed; specifically, it's related to the inverted continuum by a translation followed by a flip. Its JIP is at 1.90915584... which is approximated closely by the microtemperament atomic at 21/11 = 1.90909... so that the main continuum can be seen as taking successive mediants towards 2/1 (schismic) starting from 1/1 (diaschismic).

We may invert the continuum by setting ''m'' such that {{nowrap|1/''m'' + 1/''n'' {{=}} 1}}. This may be called the ''syntonic-Pythagorean equivalence continuum'', which is essentially the same thing. The just value of ''m'' is 1.0908441588… The [[syntonic comma]] is way larger but much simpler than the schisma. As such, this continuum does not contain as many [[microtemperament]]s, but has more useful lower-complexity temperaments.
