Archytas–chromatic equivalence continuum
The Archytas–chromatic equivalence continuum, or septimal–chromatic equivalence continuum, is a continuum of 7-limit temperaments which equate a number of Archytas commas (64/63) with the Pythagorean apotome (2187/2048).
All temperaments in the continuum satisfy (64/63)n ~ 2187/2048. Varying n results in different temperaments listed in the table below. It converges to archy as n approaches infinity. The just value of n is 4.169771, and temperaments near this tend to be the most accurate ones.
