::: Not gonna lie, I prefer spelling out all of them – floor, ceil, and round. Maybe it's cuz I do codes more than math. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 22:13, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

:::: FWIW I like \lfloor \rfloor and \lceil \rceil for floor and ceil in maths; my only slight issue with them is that they seem to imply rectangular brackets are "round()" which doesn't feel right because there is no obvious choice for which way to round half-integers. Therefore I often lean to \operatorname{floor}() and \operatorname{ceil}() for this reason. --[[User:Godtone|Godtone]] ([[User talk:Godtone|talk]]) 09:40, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

== Standardize "direct mapping" to "direct approximation" across wiki? ==

::: I agree ''conistent mapping'' isn't quite self-explanatory. I know it means the same as ''mapping with a val'', ''val mapping'', ''RTT mapping'' or whatever that describes the opposite of direct approximation. Personally I find ''val mapping'' clear enough, but if you don't like ''val'', and replace it with ''map'', you get ''map mapping'' which is absurd. So idk.

:::: FWIW I prefer "a/b is mapped to [x, y, ...]" where a/b is the interval and [x, y, ...] are the coordinates in the tempered space of the temperament. In other words, "mapped" already by default implicates a regularity to me if you don't specify that it's a "direct mapping". For example [[32/27]] is mapped to 285{{cent}} in [[80edo|80et]]. --[[User:Godtone|Godtone]] ([[User talk:Godtone|talk]]) 09:33, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
