[[80edo]] has a circle of [[12/11]]'s because [[Undecimal octatonic comma|(12/11)<sup>8</sup> / 2]] = ~5.1{{cent}} < 0.5\80 = 7.5{{cent}}. ~5.1{{cent}} (the size of the [[undecimal octatonic comma]]) is thus the ''closing error'' of the circle of 12/11's in any multiple of [[8edo]] | [[80edo]] has a circle of ~[[12/11]]'s because [[Undecimal octatonic comma|(12/11)<sup>8</sup> / 2]] = ~5.1{{cent}} < 0.5\80 = 7.5{{cent}}. ~5.1{{cent}} (the size of the [[undecimal octatonic comma]]) is thus the ''closing error'' of the circle of ~12/11's in any multiple of [[8edo]] (assuming 12/11 is mapped to 1\8). 80edo does ''not'' have a circle of ~[[13/10]]'s, even though [[8edo]] is a circle of 13/10's (which requires that 13/10 is mapped to 3\8 [[consistent]]ly by the val chosen), because the accrued error exceeds 0.5\80 = 7.5{{cent}}. | ||
