Trisected is the rank-2 temperament tempering out 128/125, 1029/1000, and 1029/1024 in the 7-limit, making it a member of the augmented family, keegic temperaments, and gamelismic clan. Since it tempers out 128/125, the octave is split into 3 ~5/4's, each tuned to 400 ¢ if the octave is pure. Since it tempers out 1029/1024, the perfect fifth is split into three intervals of ~8/7.Since it tempers out 1029/1000, the tritave is split into three intervals of 10/7. This means that every Pythagorean interval is split into three equal parts.

In the 11-limit, the perfect fourth is split into three ~11/10's, thus tempering out 4000/3993. Additionally, the 1/3-octave period represents 14/11, tempering out 56/55 and 176/175. The 13-limit extension equates the ~10/7 with 13/9, tempering out 91/90 and 2197/2187.

The 2.3.7.11/5 subgroup restriction, known as trisect, removes the individual mappings for 5 and 11 while still tempering out 1029/1024 and 4000/3993, and is much more accurate.
