'''Diaschismic''', sometimes known as ''srutal'' in the [[5-limit]], is a half-octave [[regular temperament|temperament]] [[generator|generated]] by a [[3/2|perfect fifth]] or that minus a half-octave [[period]], which is a semitone representing [[16/15]]. Two of these semitones give a whole tone of [[9/8]], so the diaschisma, [[2048/2025]], is [[tempering out|tempered out]], and we also have a whole tone plus a period represent [[8/5]].  
'''Diaschismic''', sometimes known as ''srutal'' in the [[5-limit]], is a half-octave [[regular temperament|temperament]] [[generator|generated]] by a [[3/2|perfect fifth]], ideally tuned slightly sharp, or that minus a half-octave [[period]], which is a semitone representing [[16/15]]. Two of these semitones give a whole tone of [[9/8]], so the diaschisma, [[2048/2025]], is [[tempering out|tempered out]], and a half-octave minus a whole tone represents [[5/4]].  


The canonical [[extension]] to the [[7-limit]] lies where the fifth is tuned a little sharp such that eight of them octave reduced (an augmented fifth) minus a period approximate [[8/7]], tempering out the starling comma, [[126/125]], as well as the argent comma, [[5120/5103]]. This equates the [[64/63|septimal comma]] with the [[81/80|syntonic comma]] and turns it into a generic comma step that can be used to bridge Pythagorean intervals with both classical and septimal intervals.  
The canonical [[extension]] to the [[7-limit]] lies roughly between [[46edo]] and [[58edo]], such that stacking eight of them [[octave reduced]] (an augmented fifth) and down a semioctave approximates [[8/7]], tempering out the starling comma, [[126/125]], as well as the aberschisma, [[5120/5103]]. This equates the [[64/63|septimal comma]] with the [[81/80|syntonic comma]] and turns it into a generic comma step that can be used to bridge Pythagorean intervals with both classical and septimal intervals.  


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]]. The mappings of primes [[11/1|11]] and [[13/1|13]] can also be characterized by [[parapyth]], where the major third at +4 fifths represents [[14/11]], and the minor third at -3 fifths represents [[13/11]], which makes sense as the fifth is tuned slightly sharp.
