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.
