temper

[John Chalmers, Divisions of the Tetrachord]

The operation of slightly altering the tuning of an [musical] interval, often the Perfect fifth, so that a chain of such altered intervals results in another musical interval such as the octave.

In general tempered intervals are irrational and not definable by ratios of integers.
