Original Wikitext content:
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, 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//. An example for a system that is not consistent is [[25edo]]: The best approximation for the interval of [[7_6|7/6]] (the septimal subminor third) in 25edo is 6 steps, 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-limit]].
