The '''father family''' of [[ | The '''father family''' of [[rank-2 temperament|rank-2]] [[temperament]]s [[tempers out]] [[16/15]], the classic diatonic semitone. This equates [[4/3]] with [[5/4]] and [[8/5]] with [[3/2]], so the generator is a "fourth-third" (or "fifth-sixth"), hence the name ''father''. In a sense, what father is all about is using [[semisixth]]s or [[subfourth]]s and pretending that these are 5-limit, and like any temperament which seems to involve a lot of "pretending", father is close to the edge of what can be sensibly called a temperament at all. In other words, it is an [[exotemperament]]. | ||
