:: I saw you did most of the work already. Thanks. I did what I think to be the remainder just now. | |||
:: It was interesting to find a separate case on the wiki where "direct mapping" and "consistent mapping" were used as terminology, in the context of some theory about tunings of temperaments (where mapping ''does'' apply). I found it on two wiki pages. Here those two pages are, if you're curious: | |||
::: * [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning#Interpretation of results: "cosine relative error"]] | |||
::: * [[TOP tuning#TOP with "inconsistent" rational tuning extensions]] | |||
:: I was also interested to find a couple places where the author was using the term "consistent mapping" along with "direct mapping". I changed "direct mapping" to "direct approximation", but I hesitated to change "consistent mapping" to "consistent approximation". Unlike "direct approximation", the name "consistent approximation" is not self-explanatory; in fact, I would say it's a bit confusing. From what I could understand, what was meant by "consistent mapping" (and what would be meant by "consistent approximation") was this: the sum of the direct approximations of an interval's constituent odd harmonics (such as would be used in a check for [[consistency]] of an EDO). If you like, you may feel free to push for this terminology, but if so, I think it should be bolded and defined on the consistency page. I'm not so sure about it myself; it seems a bit strained. For now, I simply unpacked the meaning in both places: | |||
