Kleismic, [15 & 19], is a high-accuracy temperament (usually seen in its basic form as a 2.3.5 temperament) that equates a stack of six 6/5 minor thirds to one 3/1. Via a structurally induced extension to 2.3.5.13, it equates three 6/5's to one semitwelfth 26/15 and equates 25/24 to 26/25 and 27/26.
Kleismic harmony is naturally based on splitting 5/3 into 4/3 and 5/4 thus making 3:4:5 or 12:15:18 triads. Indeed, Kleismic[15] (4L11s) can be constructed from the generator sequence GS(3:4:5)[19] by tempering out four kleismas.
Kleismic, despite generating a heptatonic scale, is not particularly usefully a 7-form temperament; this is because 3/2 is an imperfect sixth rather than a perfect fifth. In the 11-form, however, it is much better as 5/4 and 4/3 are mapped to the same degree, resulting in a dichotomy of [0 4 8]/11 triads similar to the [0 2 4]/7 ones found in fifth-centric temperaments.
Kleismic can be seen as a counterpart to Diaschismic, which as a 2.3.5.17 temperament splits 9/8 into two 16/15s that are also 17/16~18/17 - Diaschismic splits 9/8 into two; Kleismic splits it into three. The intersection of both temperaments in the 5-limit is 34edo, which splits 9/8 into six steps; for that reason the 34edo step is called the sextula.
Kleismic contains interordinal intervals, because 3/1 is split into an even number of parts. Because it equates 9/8 to three 25/24s, the inframinor and ultramajor third in alpha-dicot tuning are separated by 9/8, such that in kleismic augmenting or diminishing a 5/4 or 6/5 respectively by 25/24 results in an interordinal.
