Notice that as ''n'' increases, we temper ~5/4 sharper and ~128/125 flatter (closer to unison), so that as ''n'' goes to infinity, ~5/4 goes to 1\3.

The simplest of these is [[mutt]] which has interesting properties discussed there. In regards to mutt, the fact that the denominator of ''n'' is a multiple of 3 tells us that it has a 1\3 period because it's contained in 3edo. The fact that the numerator is 5 tells us that 25/24 is split into 5 parts. From {{nowrap|(128/125)<sup>n</sup> {{=}} 25/24}} we can thus deduce that each part is thus equal to ~cbrt(128/125) = (128/125)<sup>1/3</sup>, so that ~5/4 is found at 1\3 minus a third of a diesis, so that ~125/64 is found at thrice that.

This observation is more general, leading to consideration of temperaments of third-integer ''n''.


The 3 & 118 microtemperament is at ''n'' = 7/4. Its generator is approximately 397{{cent}} so that four generators reaches 5/2, corresponding to the denominator of 4. The number of generators of ~(5/2)<sup>1/4</sup> needed to find prime 3 is thus four times the result of plugging ''n'' = 7/4 into 3''n'' + 2 , which is 3(7/4) + 2 = 21/4 + 8/4 = 29/4, that is, 29 generators.

Also note that at {{nowrap|''n'' {{=}} −{{frac|2|3}}}}, we find the exotemperament tempering out [[32/27]].

Notice the alternating pattern of comma offsets from 1\3, where those commas are themselves in the pattern present in the continuum of integer ''n''.
 
Also notice that we always find ~5/4 in terms of 1\3 minus the generator, which is a tempered version of the aforementioned comma offset, which is either positive or negative, and that as ''n'' grows, the generator becomes smaller so that ~5/4 becomes sharper.
