"It's just labeling mathematical objects." I hear you say.

The goal is to make the scope of a temp name more coherent so that you need less modification and explanation to the names you use, ultimately to facilitate exploring the space of useful ideas and to reduce the friction in the communication of these ideas.

: 7-limit → 11-limit

: 11-limit lunatic should be decanonicalized. Lunatic has at least three extensions: 205 & 323, 323 & 441, and 441 & 559. Perhaps, the canonicity of 441 & 559 could be argued on the basis that the 7-limit optimum is very close to 441; however, compared to the good efficiency and portability of the 7-limit temperament, this 11-limit extension is pretty mid.

: Proposed solution:

; Maquila

: 5-limit → 7-limit

: 7-limit maquila should be decanonicalized, or alternatively the 5-limit restriction should. In either case, it's a low-accuracy, high-badness extension that uses the dual-7 65edo.

Line 79:

: Paradigmic has two notable 13-limit extensions: 80 & 99e and 80 & 99ef, and like above, 80 & 99e is the simpler 19-form whereas 80 & 99ef is more accurate. 80 & 99ef also supports 13-limit parapyth, which is an extra point. It follows that 13-limit paradigmic needs a distinct name too.

: Proposed solution:

~~; Secund~~

~~: 11-limit → 13-limit~~

~~: 13-limit secund should be decanonicalized, for the other extension is obviously way better.~~

~~: Proposed solution: delete 13-limit secund. Secundly → 13-limit secund. Status: pending community reactions.~~

~~; Agni~~

~~: 11-limit → 13-limit~~

: 13-limit agni should be decanonicalized. There's no reason to favor 31 & 72 over 41 & 72, even tho the latter has a little higher badness. Proposing to rename it to pavaka, after another name of Agni.

Line 165:

: 11-limit nessafof should be decanonicalized. Extending nessafof to the 11-limit is complicated since both 84edo and 99edo have ambiguous interpretations (see the case with parakleismic). Currently we have catalogued the two low-complexity 15-form extensions, which makes sense. One is being called ''nessa'' so the other may simply be ''fof''.

: Proposed solution: 11-limit nessafof → fof. Status: changed.

: 11-limit → 13-limit

: 13-limit secund should be decanonicalized, for the other extension is obviously way better.
