User:Overthink/Dicot–kleismic equivalence continuum
The dicot–kleismic equivalence continuum is a continuum of 5-limit temperaments which equate a number of classical chromatic semitones (25/24) with the Pythagorean major second (9/8). As such, it can also be called the dicot–antitonic equivalence continuum.
All temperaments in the continuum satisfy (25/24)n ~ 9/8. Varying n results in different temperaments listed in the table below. It converges to dicot as n approaches infinity. If we allow non-integer and infinite n, the continuum describes the set of all 5-limit temperaments supported by 4edo 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 approximately 2.8853…, and temperaments having n near this value tend to be the most accurate ones.
