The Diaschismic-Porcupine continuum is a continuum of 5-limit temperaments which equate a number of diaschismas with a porcupine comma. This continuum is theoretically interesting in that these are all 5-limit temperaments supported by 22edo.

All temperaments in the continuum satisfy (2048/2025)n ~ 250/243. Varying n results in different temperaments listed in the table below. It converges to diaschismic as n approaches infinity. If we allow non-integer and infinite n, the continuum describes the set of all 5-limit temperaments supported by 22edo 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 2.5145615263.., and temperaments having n near this value tend to be the most accurate ones.
