The diaschismic-kleismic equivalence continuum is a continuum of 5-limit temperaments which equate a number of kleismas (15625/15552) with the diaschisma (2048/2025).

All temperaments in the continuum satisfy (15625/15552)n ~ 2048/2025. Varying n results in different temperaments listed in the table below. It converges to hanson as n approaches infinity. If we allow non-integer and infinite n, the continuum describes the set of all 5-limit temperaments supported by 34edo due to it being the unique equal temperament that tempers both commas and thus tempers all combinations of them. The just value of n is 2.4117…, and temperaments near this tend to be the most accurate ones.

The 17-comma (134217728/129140163) is the characteristic 3-limit comma tempered out in 34edo. It corresponds to a value of n = -1/3.

We may invert the continuum by setting m such that 1/m + 1/n = 1. This may be called the wurschmidt-diaschismic equivalence continuum, which is essentially the same thing. The just value of m is 1.2333…
