| If N-edo is an [[edo|equal division of the octave]], and if for any interval r, N(r) is the best N-edo approximation to r, then N is //consistent// with respect to a set of intervals S if for any two intervals a and b in S where ab is also in S, N(ab) = N(a) + N(b). Normally this is considered when S is the set of [[Odd limit|q odd limit intervals]], consisting of everything of the form 2^n u/v, where u and v are odd integers less than or equal to q. N is then said to be //q limit consistent//. If each interval in the q-limit is mapped to a unique value by N, then it said to be //uniquely q limit consistent//.

| | If N-edo is an [[EDO|equal division of the octave]], and if for any interval r, N(r) is the best N-edo approximation to r, then N is ''consistent'' with respect to a set of intervals S if for any two intervals a and b in S where ab is also in S, N(ab) = N(a) + N(b). Normally this is considered when S is the set of [[Odd_limit|q odd limit intervals]], consisting of everything of the form 2^n u/v, where u and v are odd integers less than or equal to q. N is then said to be ''q limit consistent''. If each interval in the q-limit is mapped to a unique value by N, then it said to be ''uniquely q limit consistent''. |

| ==Examples==
| | See also [[Minimal_consistent_EDOs|this list]] of odd limits, with the smallest edo that is consistent or uniquely consistent in that odd limit. And [[Consistency_levels_of_small_EDOs|this list]] of edos, with the largest odd limit that this edo is consistent or uniquely consistent in. |

|
| An example for a system that is //not// consistent in a particular odd limit is [[25edo]]:
| | ==Examples== |
|
| |
|
| The best approximation for the interval of [[7_6|7/6]] (the septimal subminor third) in 25edo is 6 steps, and the best approximation for the [[3_2|perfect fifth 3/2]] is 15 steps. Adding the two just intervals gives 3/2 * 7/6 = [[7_4|7/4]], the harmonic seventh, for which the best approximation in 25edo is 20 steps. Adding the two approximated intervals, however, gives 21 steps. This means that 25edo is not consistent in 7 odd-limit. The 4:6:7 triad cannot be mapped to 25edo without one of its three component intervals being inaccurately mapped.

|
| |
|
| An example for a system that //is// consistent in the 7 odd-limit is [[12edo]]: 3/2 maps to 7\12, 7/6 maps to 3\12, and 7/4 maps to 10\12, which equals 7\12 plus 3\12. 12edo is also consistent in the 9 odd-limit, but not in the 11 odd-limit.

| One notable example: [[xenharmonic/46edo|46edo]] is not consistent in the 15 odd limit. The 15:13 interval is very closer slightly closer to 9 degrees of 46edo than to 10 degrees, but the //functional// 15:13 (the difference between 46edo's versions of 15:8 and 13:8) is 10 degrees. However, if we compress the octave slightly (by about a cent), this discrepancy no longer occurs, and we end up with an 18-//integer//-limit consistent system, which makes it ideal for approximating mode 8 of the harmonic series.

| It is possible to generalize the concept of consistency to non-edo equal temperaments. Because octaves are no longer equivalent, instead of an odd limit we must use an integer limit, and the term 2^n in the above equation is no longer present. Instead, the set S consists of all intervals u/v where u <= q >= v. | | It is possible to generalize the concept of consistency to non-edo equal temperaments.
