The schismic-Mercator equivalence continuum is a continuum of temperaments which equate a number of schismas (32805/32768) with Mercator's comma ([-84 53⟩).
All temperaments in the continuum satisfy (32805/32768)n ~ [-84 53⟩. Varying n results in different temperaments listed in the table below. It converges to schismic as n approaches infinity. If we allow non-integer and infinite n, the continuum describes the set of all 5-limit temperaments supported by 53edo (due to it being the unique equal temperament that tempers both commas and thus tempers all combinations of them). The just value of n is approximately 1.8503390493..., and temperaments having n near this value tend to be the most accurate ones.
For a similar but perhaps more intuitive and practical concept, see Syntonic-chromatic equivalence continuum.
