The schismic-Mercator equivalence continuum is a continuum of 5-limit temperaments which equate a number of schismas (32805/32768) with Mercator's comma ([-84 53). This continuum is theoretically interesting in that these are all 5-limit microtemperaments.

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.

Examples of temperaments with fractional values of n:

  • Quartonic (n = 5.5)
  • Ditonic (n = 6.5)
  • 53 & 3684 (n = 11/6 = 1.83)
  • 53 & 4190 (n = 13/7 = 1.857142)
