The '''biosphere''' is the name given to the collection of temperaments that are children of or related to '''biome temperament''', the rank-3 2.3.7.13/5 subgroup temperament eliminating [[91/90]], and '''biosphere temperament''', its rank-5 full 13-limit extension. The term "biome" loosely means "ecosystem" or "climate." | The '''biosphere''' is the name given to the collection of temperaments that are children of or related to '''biome temperament''', the rank-3 2.3.7.13/5 subgroup temperament eliminating the biome comma [[91/90]], and '''biosphere temperament''', its rank-5 full 13-limit extension.

The next low-numbered triad after 4:5:6 with a 3/2 on the outside is 6:7:9, but its inversion, 14:18:21, can sound extremely dissonant to those not used to 9-limit harmony. On the other hand, you also have 10:13:15, which is another standout triad of low complexity with a fifth on the outside, but its inversion, 26:30:39, is also relatively complex. Tempering out 91/90 makes both of these problems disappear by connecting the two together, such that the utonal inverse of 6:7:9 becomes 10:13:15. | The next low-numbered triad after 4:5:6 with a 3/2 on the outside is 6:7:9, but its inversion, 14:18:21, can sound extremely dissonant to those not used to 9-limit harmony.
