'''POTE tuning''' is the short form of '''pure-octaves Tenney-Euclidean tuning''', a good choice for a standard tuning enforcing a just 2/1 octave. This page focuses on the computation. For more mathematical backgrounds, see [[Tenney-Euclidean tuning]].  
'''POTE tuning''' ('''pure-octaves Tenney-Euclidean tuning'''), also known as '''KE tuning''' ('''Kees-Euclidean tuning'''), is a good choice for a standard tuning enforcing a just 2/1 octave. It can be computed from [[TE tuning]] with all primes destretched until 2/1 is just.  


== Computing TE and POTE tuning ==
== Kees optimality ==
POTE tuning is alternatively called KE tuning because it is the optimal tuning by Kees metric, that is, it minimizes the squared error of all intervals weighted by [[Kees height]].

The TE and POTE tuning for a [[mapping|map matrix]] such as M = [{{val|1 0 2 -1}}, {{val|0 5 1 12}}] (the map for 7-limit [[Magic family|magic]], which consists of a linearly independent list of [[val]]s defining magic) can be found as follows:
