The diaschismic-kleismic equivalence continuum is a continuum of 5-limit temperaments that describes the set of all 5-limit temperaments supported by 34edo.
A reasonable way of defining this continuum equates a number of diaschismas (2048/2025) with the Würschmidt comma (393216/390625), so that (2048/2025)n ~ 393216/390625. As a result, this may also be called the wurschmidt-diaschismic equivalence continuum, or the diaschismic-gothic equivalence continuum, which is more or less the same thing. The just value of n is 0.5853…, and temperaments near this tend to be the most accurate. The gothic comma (134217728/129140163) is the characteristic 3-limit comma tempered out in 34edo, and it has a value of n = 4. Therefore, one can additionally define k = 4 - n, which has notable advantages - in particular, due to being determined in terms of the 3-limit comma and the comma with the next lowest power of 5, (twice the numerator of) the value of k represents the number of generator steps required to reach the 3rd harmonic.
All temperaments in the continuum also satisfy (15625/15552)m ~ 393216/390625, for a value of m defined such that 1/n - 1/m = 1; equivalently, we can offset m by 1, and equate a number of kleismas (15625/15552) with the diaschisma, hence the name. Varying m results in different temperaments listed in the second table below. It converges to hanson as m approaches infinity, and is motivated by the fact that many important temperaments of 34edo follow a chain of commas connected by kleismas.

We may invert the continuum by setting n such that 1/n - 1/m = 1. The just value of m is 1.4117…, and temperaments near this tend to be the most accurate ones.
