Individual pages for EDOs: technically edos are infinitely extending so "physically possible edo" only makes sense in a given frequency range

You will quickly find that the ''factorization'' of the total number of notes in each EDO has consequences for its structure and the way it relates to other EDOs. For example, 6 = 2 x 3, so 6edo contains all of the intervals in both 2edo and 3edo. On the other hand, 7 is a prime number, so no 7edo intervals are redundant with those of smaller EDOs. See [[Prime EDO]] and [[Superabundant EDO]] for more details.

The [[MOS]] paradigm is a fascinating way of thinking about building sub-scales of EDOs and relating them to non-EDO scales, as well as finding common melodic patterns between multiple EDOs.
