The linus comma and comma pump works with decoid temperament, described here:

Note that this extends to the 13-limit, though 11 is complex. Ditching 11 gives a 2.3.5.7.13 temperament which is still part of the archepelago, as 676/675 is another decoid comma. Instead of the 40-note scale I gave, a 60-note MOS would be natural. So, you can have your comma pump 15/14 line plus all kinds of archepelago chords.
