Orgone is the 2.7.11 subgroup temperament generated by a minor or supraminor third which can be identified by a tempered 77/64 such that two of them make a tempered 16/11 and three of them make a tempered 7/4. The orgone temperament is notable for its lack of well-tuned perfect fifths, particularly for the sharper tunings of orgone temperament. If using a flatter generator, there is a fifth but still at the relatively high complexity of 9 generators down (see also superkleismic).

A related temperament is ultrakleismic in the 2.7.17 subgroup, in which the generator is instead identified with the simpler 17/14, by tempering out 4913/4802. Ork temperament merges these two. These favor sharper generators so can be viewed even more as no-fifth systems.
