:::::: I think that using the verb "map" for an EDO has more potential to create confusion than it does to increase clarity. It would be better to reserve that word for temperaments — which are based on linear ''map''pings — and then use "round" for EDOs, as I've described above. What does "map" bring to the table that "round" doesn't, in your point of view? Why couldn't you just say that 12-EDO ''rounds'' 2<sup>1/3</sup> to a stack of 4 generators? Though I'm not sure what insights this statement is supposed to provide in the first place.

:::::: I think Dummy index is trying to convey the idea that an EDO is a ''generated tuning'', and therefore it can be visualized on a lattice with a domain basis of 2<sup>1/n</sup>. In comparison, 5-limit JI can be visualized on a lattice with a domain basis of 2.3.5, or possibly 2.3/2.5/4. Generated tunings can easily be confused with regular temperaments, especially because there are common elements shared by the two concepts, so I think it's worth distinguishing them here and referring to the appropriate pages as necessary. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 05:22, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
