A stack of twelve perfect fifths octave reduced (a [[diesis (scale theory)|diesis]]), in this tuning range, is close in size to a quartertone, and that plus a period can be used to represent [[16/11]]. Three more fifths on top of 16/11 give [[16/13]]. Finally, since the whole tone has been split in two, each can be used to represent [[17/16]]~[[18/17]]. Therefore, diaschismic is most naturally viewed as a full 17-limit temperament, tempering out 126/125, 136/135, [[176/175]], [[196/195]], and 256/255.

Another option for extension is [[pajara]], which inherits the inaccuracy of [[archy]] while providing a much simpler representation of the 7-limit.
