As of early 2026, the temperament has no single agreed-upon name.
The name ''Aberschismic'', coined by Tristan Bay, comes from the fact that tempering out 5120/5103 manifests in [[aberrismic theory]] where the 7-limit interpretations for chromedye (5L2m5s) and whitedye (5L2m7s) interpret the aberrisma (the s step) as both 81/80 and 64/63.


The older name ''Hemifamity'' is a portmanteau of ''Hemififths'' and ''Amity'', rank-2 temperaments which both support this rank-3 temperament.
The names ''Argent'' and ''Argentic'' come from the relationship to the silver ratio and the associated (slightly hard of just) [[Golden_generator#Argent_tuning|argent tuning]] of MOS diatonic.

Aberschismic (formerly known as Hemifamity), 41 & 46 & 53, is a 7-limit rank-3 temperament that tempers out 5120/5103 (known as the aberschisma), which manifests in several different ways:

  1. equates the 3-spine prime commas for 5 and 7, 81/80 and 64/63
  2. equates the Pythagorean minor second with 21/20
  3. equates the Pythagorean chroma with 15/14
  4. equates the Pythagorean augmented fourth with 10/7
  5. splits 36/35 into two equal parts each representing the "common comma" 81/80 ~ 64/63 (hence 36/35 might humorously be referred to as the "famity")
  6. splits 7/5 into two equal parts each representing 32/27
  7. makes 28/27 - 21/20 - 16/15 - 27/25 equidistant and 35/32 - 10/9 - 9/8 - 8/7 equidistant

Restricted to the subgroup 2.3.7/5, it becomes the fifth-generated rank-2 temperament Argent or Argentic, 2.3.7/5[5120/5103] = 2.3.7/5[12 & 29].

Names

The name Aberschismic, coined by Tristan Bay, comes from the fact that tempering out 5120/5103 manifests in aberrismic theory where the 7-limit interpretations for chromedye (5L2m5s) and whitedye (5L2m7s) interpret the aberrisma (the s step) as both 81/80 and 64/63.

The names Argent and Argentic come from the relationship to the silver ratio and the associated (slightly hard of just) argent tuning of MOS diatonic.

The older name Hemifamity is a portmanteau of Hemififths and Amity, both rank-2 temperaments which support this rank-3 temperament.

Structural theory

Notation

Aberschismic may be notated with diatonic notation and a comma symbol representing 81/80 ~ 64/63.

Intervals

(* Cent values in pure-2/1, pure-7/4 tuning. JI interpretations are in the 13-limit strong extension Akea, 41 & 46 & 53. Prime harmonics are in bold.)

Supporting edos

Comma-level resolution

The following edos map both 81/80 and 64/63 to one edostep: 41edo, 46edo, 48edo, 53edo, 58edo, 70edo.

Half-comma resolution

The following edos map both 81/80 and 64/63 to two edosteps: 87edo, 94edo, 99edo, 111edo.

Third-comma resolution

The following edos map both 81/80 and 64/63 to three edosteps: 128edo, 133edo, 135edo, 140edo, 145edo, 147edo, 152edo, 157edo.

Supporting rank-2 temperaments

Given any rank-2 temperament on a rank-3 subgroup of the 7-limit that is not 2.3.7/5 (e.g. 2.3.5, 2.3.7, 2.5.7), Aberschismic tempering may be added to extend the temperament to the full 7-limit. Examples:

Extensions

  • Prime 11 may be added by tempering out either 385/384 (thus equating 36/35 with 33/32; this is called Akea) or 896/891 (thus equating 81/64 with 14/11; this is called Pele).
  • Prime 13 may be added by tempering out 4096/4095 (which equates 128/105 to 39/32); this is what 13-limit Akea (41 & 46 & 53) adds. An alternate extension adds Parapyth tempering and is called Pele (41 & 46 & 58).

Note that Akea and Pele together imply Rodan (41 & 46).
