'''Father''' is a very coarse, simplistic, and inaccurate [[exotemperament]]. It [[Tempering out|tempers out]] [[16/15]], the classical diatonic semitone. This means the [[5/4|classical major third (5/4)]] is conflated with the [[4/3|perfect fourth (4/3)]], making it one that challenges the very notion of JI approximation, and playing harmony in it, it sounds only remotely reminiscent of the [[5-limit]] no matter how it is tuned. If one could get their head around this way of hearing intervals, they may as well take a look at the 7-limit interpretation, where it tempers out [[28/27]] and [[36/35]].

~~The~~ main interest in ~~this temperament~~ is in its [[mos scale]]s, ~~featuring~~ [[3L 2s|antipentic (3L 2s)]] and [[5L 3s|oneirotonic (5L 3s)]] ~~when properly tuned. It is likely the case that those scales~~ are often chosen first, and only later is each step associated with a ratio consistent with this temperament~~: a~~ common reason to choose father as a temperament is to ~~justify using~~ suspended chords ~~as the main form of harmony~~, ~~as in 5edo or 13edo~~.

As an exotemperament, there are a variety of acceptable tunings for father, ranging from roughly 720¢ to 800¢. However, since the main interest in an exotemperament is usually its [[mos scale]]s, [[3L 2s|antipentic (3L 2s)]] and [[5L 3s|oneirotonic (5L 3s)]] are often chosen first, and only later is each step associated with a ratio consistent with this temperament; this means that the most common tunings of father are between 720 and 750 cents. A potential reason to choose father as a temperament is to equate suspended chords and more conventional tertian chords (though options like [[Trienstonic clan|trienstonic]] (4/3~9/7), [[blackwood]] (4/3~81/64), and [[fendo]] (4/3~13/10) are more accurate).

See [[Father family #Father]] and [[Trienstonic clan #Father]] for technical details.
