::: I mean, the only things I know for sure are that "telicity" builds on Inthar's concept of "Consistency to distance ''d''" in terms of its core definition. Perhaps, in order to define "telicity" we need to look at the adjective "telic", as "telicity" is "the quality or state of being telic".

::: For its part, "telic", when used to describe an EDO, can be defined as "able to successfully stack a number of instances of a given prime's [[patent interval]] to connect with an interval belonging to a chain created by a lower prime's [[patent interval]] (designated as the 'telos') without either accumulating 50% relative error or more at any point in the process on the part of either prime's patent interval chain, or, creating as mismatch in results between the [[direct mapping]] and the more complicated traditional mapping for any interval along the chain – all by means of tempering one or more commas smaller than half a step". ~~When~~ used to describe a comma, ~~"telic" can be defined as~~ "able to join two distinct prime interval chains by being tempered".

::: For its part, "telic", when used to describe an EDO, can be defined as "able to successfully stack a number of instances of a given prime's [[patent interval]] to connect with an interval belonging to a chain created by a lower prime's [[patent interval]] (designated as the 'telos') without either accumulating 50% relative error or more at any point in the process on the part of either prime's patent interval chain, or, creating as mismatch in results between the [[direct mapping]] and the more complicated traditional mapping for any interval along the chain – all by means of tempering one or more commas smaller than half a step". From this, we get the definition of "telic" when used to describe a comma, which "able to join two distinct prime interval chains [in the aforementioned manner] by being tempered".

::: I'm not going over the parts of these definitions concerning combinations of primes yet, as we need to find the right way to express these.
