finished the table, added the <br> in val template because otherwise it would just look awful

Eliora proposes that 1 step of 4320edo be called a '''click'''. This is because 4320 kilometers per hour equals 1200 meters per second, and "clicks" or "clicks" is a slang name for kilometers per hour. Therefore if one were to think of cents as meters per second, this would make steps of 4320edo correspond kilometers per hour.  
Eliora proposes that 1 step of 4320edo be called a '''click'''. This is because 4320 kilometers per hour equals 1200 meters per second, and "clicks" or "clicks" is a slang name for kilometers per hour. A [[cent]] is equal to 3.6 steps of 4320edo, just as 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h. For example, a perfect fifth is 701.955 cents. Since 701.955 m/s = 2527.038 km/h, this means that perfect fifth in 4320edo is 2527 steps. And checking the harmonics table, it does match the actual value.  


For example, a perfect fifth is 701.955 cents. Since 701.955 m/s = 2527.038 km/h, this means that perfect fifth in 4320edo is 2527 steps. And checking the harmonics table, it is.
A semitone therefore is 360 clicks, a quartertone is 180 clicks, minutes period is 72 clicks, a [[morion]] is 60 clicks, mercury period is 54 clicks, the Dröbisch angle is 12 clicks.  
 
Since 4320edo is consistent in the 23-odd-limit, this means that the values of the 23-odd-limit intervals in clicks can be found by simply applying the patent val.

4320edo is the 69th highly abundant EDO. Nice.
4320edo is the 69th highly abundant EDO. Nice.
When it comes to interval size measures, a curious observation is also that 4320 km/h is close enough to whole integer to equal to 2684 mph, and [[2684edo]] is a zeta peak EDO.
