A few definitions conveniently happen to give an equivalent list; the set of LCJI intervals we are interested in the stack being near to could be the 7-odd-limit instead, and whether we choose a 2-to-4 or 2-to-5 range only changes the number of expressions for some of the dieses, so this appears to be an algorithmically significant result at the very least, evidencing a possible computational basis for the intuitive properties of the notion. A more general parametrization might only use the 2-to-5 range to look for alternate expressions but 2 to 4 to avoid overcomplex expressions, while having some stack of 9-odd-limit equal a 13-odd-limit interval, but it might be preferred to use definitions that keep the set elegant. To tweak with parameters yourself, you can use [[User:Godtone #My Python 3 code|Godtone's code]], which has no dependencies other than [https://www.python.org/ Python 3]; use <code>diesis</code> with <code>show=True</code>.)
