An '''equivalence continuum''' is | 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. | |||
