Father–3 equivalence continuum: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The '''~~chromatic~~-~~diatonic~~ equivalence continuum'''~~, despite its name,~~ is a [[equivalence continuum|continuum]] of [[5-limit]] [[regular temperament|temperaments]] which equate a number of [[16/15|classical diatonic semitones (16/15)]] with the [[32/27|Pythagorean minor third (32/27)]].

The '''father-3 equivalence continuum''' is a [[equivalence continuum|continuum]] of [[5-limit]] [[regular temperament|temperaments]] which equate a number of [[16/15|classical diatonic semitones (16/15)]] with the [[32/27|Pythagorean minor third (32/27)]].

All temperaments in the continuum satisfy (16/15)''n'' ~ 32/27. Varying ''n'' results in different temperaments listed in the table below. It converges to [[father]] as ''n'' approaches infinity. If we allow non-integer and infinite ''n'', the continuum describes the set of all [[5-limit]] temperaments supported by [[3edo]] 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 2.63252…, and temperaments having ''n'' near this value tend to be the most accurate ones.

32/27 is the characteristic 3-limit comma tempered out in 3edo. In each case, ~~we notice that~~ ''n'' equals the order of [[5/1|harmonic 5]] in the corresponding comma, and equals the number of steps to obtain the interval class of [[3/1|3]] in the generator chain~~. Such an equivalence continuum is more properly called the ''father-3 equivalence continuum''~~.
