4edo can be viewed as a [[dual-fifth]] system (the smallest in fact, besides the trivial [[1edo]]), with the tritone and major sixth as the flat and sharp "fifths". The tritone represents 3/2 in the [[patent val]], while the major sixth represents 3/2 in the 4b val (using [[wart notation]]). The 4b val has one of the sharpest mappings of 3/2 of any [[octave]]-repeating equal temperaments, only outmatched by that of [[1edo]], and even falling outside of the 600- to 800-cent range of [[2L 1s]].

4edo can be seen as a trivial tuning of the [[diminished (temperament)|diminished]] temperament, since it tempers out [[648/625]] (the major diesis) by equating four minor thirds ([[6/5]]) to an octave. Alternately, it can be viewed as a critically flat [[hanson]] or [[myna]] tuning, as both 6 and 10 generators reach the best approximation to the 5th. This interpretation works best if you stretch the octaves; 4edo is the first edo that is [[~~The~~ Riemann zeta function ~~and tuning~~ #Zeta edo lists|zeta peak but not zeta peak integer]], which means the point of maximum harmonicity is somewhat further away from pure octaves than the previous two edos. If you compress the octaves instead, it can be interpreted as a critically sharp [[subgroup temperaments #Gariberttet|gariberttet]] tuning.
