Rank 8 - the IUS (initial untempered subgroup).

</pre>

Note: A partial reason I chose "Metafamilies" to correspond to 3 commas (and thus "Metafamily temperaments" to 4) is to suggest focusing on tempering at least 3 or 4 commas in high rank situations so that we don't just get a whole bunch of 1 or 2 comma temperaments which are comparatively uninteresting and of which, at that scale, there will inevitably be (perhaps far too) many. This also has the neat property of meaning that Metafamily temperaments in the 19-prime-limit are "cubic" in analogy to how rank 3 temperaments are "planar", ad that Metafamily temperaments in the 17-prime-limit are "planar temperaments". Plus I like the fact that "Metafamily temperaments" are either equated or closely connected to Superfamilies and/or Ultrafamilies depending on how high of a rank your IUS is, further justifying the aesthetic choice of "meta" (at least IMO).
