Kleismic, known in the 5-limit as hanson or simply kleismic, is a rank-2 temperament and parent of the kleismic family, characterized by the vanishing of the kleisma (ratio: 15625/15552, monzo: [-6 -5 6⟩), which is the difference between a perfect twelfth (3/1) and six classical minor thirds (6/5), where 6/5 therefore serves as the generator.
Another useful interpretation of the kleisma as a comma is that it makes the classical chromatic semitone, 25/24, into a third-tone by equating three of this interval to 9/8. As 9/8 = (25/24)(26/25)(27/26), it is natural to equate 25/24 to 26/25 and 27/26 as well, thereby tempering out the marveltwin comma (S25 × S26 = 325/324), and the tunbarsma (S25 = 625/624), resulting in a low-complexity but high-accuracy extension to the 2.3.5.13 subgroup, sometimes known as cata. As the chain of generators naturally gives us hemitwelfths at only 3 generator steps, this also corresponds directly to an interpretation of these as 26/15 (and thus hemifourths as 15/13) by tempering out S26 = 676/675.
Extensions with prime 7 include catakleismic (which adds 225/224, finding 7 at 22 generators up), countercata (which adds 5120/5103, finding 7 at 31 generators down), metakleismic (which adds 179200/177147, finding 7 at 56 generators up), keemun (which adds 49/48, finding 7 at 3 generators up), anakleismic (which adds 2240/2187, finding 7 at 37 generators up), and catalan (which adds 64/63, finding 7 at 12 generators down). Of these, catakleismic can perhaps be considered the canonical extension, as it makes an intuitive further equivalence of 25/24~26/25~27/26 to 28/27 (by tempering out square-particulars S25, S26, and S27), and can be defined independently in the 7-limit by tempering out 225/224 and 4375/4374. However, countercata is closer to the optimal range of kleismic (between 53edo and 87edo), identifying 64/63 with 65/64 by tempering out 4096/4095. Catakleismic and countercata merge in 53edo, as the former finds 7 at 22 generators up while the latter finds it at 31 generators down (22 + 31 = 53).
Most of these extensions can also incorporate prime 11 (and thereby reach the full 13-limit) by tempering out 385/384, equating the ~6/5 generator to 77/64. This works well since the optimal tunings of cata's ~6/5 are usually intermediate between just 6/5 and 77/64.
