This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

The septischismic family of rank-3 temperaments tempers out the septischisma (monzo: [25 -14 0 -1⟩, ratio: 33 554 432 / 33 480 783).

Septischismic

The head of this family is septischismic (formerly garischismic), which is generated by a perfect fifth and an independent generator for 5/4. Two Pythagorean apotomes i.e. 14 fifths octave-reduced make a septimal major second (8/7). Equivalently stated, the harmonic seventh (7/4) is found at the double-diminished octave (C–C𝄫), or the minor seventh minus a generic comma step which stands in for both the Pythagorean comma and the septimal comma.

Septischismic can be easily notated with chain-of-fifths notation with two additional sets of accidentals, one for the generic comma step, and the other for the generic aberschisma step which stands in for the schisma and the aberschisma.

Overview to extensions

The best extension to the 11-limit identifies the 11/8 at +23 fifths. This is also the mapping used in the related lower accuracy temperament cassandra, so we also call it cassaschismic. An alternative, supported by andromeda, is androschismic.

Undecimal septischismic (cassaschismic)

Undecimal septischismic, a.k.a. cassaschismic, maps prime 11 to +23 perfect fifths, so it is an expansion of the 2.3.7.11-subgroup version of gary. It is naturally a no-17 19-limit temperament, where the undevicesimal schisma of 513/512 is also added to the generic aberschisma step.

Septischismic has two reasonable extensions to add 17, which coalesce in the newt extension 270 & 311. Septinoellismic finds it a tad unintuitively as two aberschismas up and 4 commas down from a major second (^^4sM2) yet supported by 94edo, and septisperasmic finds it 4 aberschismas up from a minor second (4^m2), which can be deemed the more intuitive mapping, albeit it is not supported by any cassandra tuning except for 12edo, which notably has a very well tuned 17/16.

Septischismic has two reasonable extensions to add 29 and 31 into the system, that like before, coalesce in the newt extension 270 & 311 too. Septiplanar finds them in the chain of fifths, without need of third generators, thus they in the same plane to the rank-2 chain of fifths, mapped respectively to a major seventh – three commas (3sM7) and a perfect octave minus two commas (hP8). Because this extension is reached only through the septischismic chain of fifths, it is also available in gary.
