m silly wording, also idk what "distinct odd-consistency-limit" is but it appears to be an idiosyncratic term made up on the fly

The largest edo to temper out the borcherdsma is not known, although it is known to be above 6.61 × 10<sup>11</sup> and conjectured to be below 10<sup>12</sup>.
The largest edo to temper out the borcherdsma by patent val is not known, although it is known to be above 6.61&nbsp;×&nbsp;10<sup>11</sup>. It is also known to be below 9.46&nbsp;×&nbsp;10<sup>11</sup>, as beyond that, a prime would need to have 50% or more relative error in order to map the comma to 0&nbsp;steps. This is because the sum of the absolute values of the monzo entries for primes greater than 2 is 17, so there must be some prime with an absolute error at least 1/17th this commas size, or around 6.343&nbsp;×&nbsp;10<sup>-10</sup>{{C}}, and the largest EDO where this is less than half the step size is around 9.459&nbsp;×&nbsp;10<sup>11</sup>.
