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

Notable [[edo]]s that temper it out include:
Notable [[edo]]s that temper it out by [[patent val]] include:


[[6edo]] - the smallest edo that does so. Although 6p does indeed temper the borcherdsma with its patent val, there's a lot of doubt whether one would seriously use it to tune the 71-limit.
[[6edo]] - the smallest edo that does so.


[[7edo]] - the second smallest edo that does so. 7edo is a [[strict zeta edo]], but that's not a lot of progress from 6edo yet.

[[2901533edo]] - the minimal edo with [[distinctly consistent|distinct odd-consistency-limit]] 79 (and also all the way to 131)
[[2901533edo]] - the minimal edo [[distinctly consistent]] in the 79-odd-limit (and also all the way to 131-odd-limit).


[[70910024edo]] - the minimal edo with distinct odd-consistency-limit 133 (and also 135)
[[70910024edo]] - the minimal edo [[distinctly consistent]] in the 133- and 135-odd-limit.
 
(The last two edos are taken from the list of [[minimal consistent edos]].)


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>.
