159edo is [[consistent]] up to the no-17 [[29-odd-limit]] or the no-19 [[27-odd-limit]] as 19/17, 29/17, and their [[octave complement]]s exhaust the inconsistently mapped interval pairs in the 29-odd-limit. Thus its full 29-limit interpretation using the [[patent val]] is obvious, albeit with the catch that it is less than ideal to use the 17-prime at the same time as either the 19-prime or the 29-prime. However, there is more to consider as the [[direct approximation]] and the val mapping for intervals such as [[49/32]], [[35/32]], and [[169/128]] do not match, and as a result, 159edo can be thought of as having a perfunctory [[7-limit]] that mainly serves to bridge to the [[11-limit]] and divide the nearly just 3/2 into three, as well as a similarly perfunctory [[13-limit]] that mainly serves to bridge to the 17-limit and to absorb complex combinations of 3 and 5.

Notably, 159edo provides the [[optimal patent val]] for 11-limit [[guiron]], 13-limit [[tritikleismic]], the 13-limit rank-3 temperament [[Gamelismic family #Portending|portending]], as well as the 17-limit rank-6 temperament tempering out [[273/272]]. In addition to this, it also supports both forms of the yarman temperament, with a generator of 2\159 which can be taken as an approximate 105/104. Both have a [[mos]] of 79 or 80 notes to the octave, and have their optimal patent vals supplied by 159edo in 7-limit, 11-limit, 13-limit, 17-limit and even 19-limit forms. While the patent val [[support]]s both [[cartography]] and [[iodine]] temperaments, which are among the best 13-limit temperaments in the [[mercator family]], the 159d and 159f mappings support other members of this temperament family.
