An '''equivalence continuum''' is the space of all rank-''k'' temperaments on a specified [[JI subgroup]] that are supported by a specified temperament of a lower rank on the same subgroup (such as an [[edo]] viewed as a temperament on said subgroup). This term was first used by [[Mike Battaglia]] in 2011<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_99315.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''Some new 5-limit microtemperaments'']</ref><ref>[https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=Temperament_orphanage&oldid=27177 Xenharmonic Wiki | ''Temperament orphanage''] – first occurrence on this wiki, same date as the thread above. </ref>.
An '''equivalence continuum''' comprises all the [[regular temperament|temperaments]] where a number of a certain interval is equated with another interval. It creates a space of temperaments on a specified [[JI subgroup]] that are [[support]]ed by a specified temperament of a lower rank (such as an [[equal temperament]]) on the same subgroup.
 
For example, in the [[syntonic–chromatic equivalence continuum]], a number of [[81/80|syntonic commas]] is equated with the [[2187/2048|Pythagorean chromatic semitone]], and this describes all temperaments supported by [[7edo|7et]] since that is the unique temperament that [[tempering out|tempers out]] both and hence all the combinations thereof.
