We can consider '''TE error''' to be a weighted average of the error of each prime harmonics in TE tuning. Multiplying it by 1200, we get a figure with values in cents.  
We can consider '''TE error''' to be a weighted average of the error of each [[prime harmonic]]s in [[TE tuning]], that is, a weighted average of the [[error map]] in TE tuning. TE error may be expressed in any logarithmic [[interval size unit]]s such as [[cent]]s or [[octave]]s.  


By Graham Breed's definition, TE error may be accessed via [[Tenney–Euclidean tuning|TE tuning map]]. If ''T''<sub>''W''</sub> is the Tenney-weighted tuning map, then the TE error ''G'' can be found by

If ''T''<sub>''W''</sub> is denominated in cents, then ''J''<sub>''W''</sub> should be also, so that {{nowrap|''J''<sub>''W''</sub> {{=}} {{val| 1200 1200 … 1200 }}}}. Here {{nowrap|''T''<sub>''W''</sub> − ''J''<sub>''W''</sub>}} is the list of weighted mistunings of each prime harmonics.
