If we do not temper out this interval and instead repeatedly stack (and octave-reduce) it, we get [[311edo]], where it is equal to 2 steps, meaning 311edo is a circle of 225/224's. Note that this is not true for 226/225 or 224/223, the adjacent superparticulars, as they accumulate too much error to close into a circle in 311edo.
If we do not temper out this interval and instead repeatedly stack (and octave-reduce) it, we almost return to the starting point at the 311th step, meaning [[311edo]] is practically a circle of 225/224's. Note that this is not true for 226/225 or 224/223, the adjacent superparticulars, as they accumulate too much error to close into a circle in 311edo.
