I believe what the author may be trying to do in this sentence is to contrast the patent-val-mapped interval with the "directly-mapped interval". But this might suggest the existence of a "direct val". So I suggest referring to it as the "direct approximation", since this implies that it does not go via the intermediary of any prime mapping or val. --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 22:35, 28 June 2021 (UTC) | I believe what the author may be trying to do in this sentence is to contrast the patent-val-mapped interval with the "directly-mapped interval".

: The best approximations of prime intervals specifically establishes the patent val for | : The best approximations of prime intervals specifically establishes the patent val for an EDO. However, the best approximation of other intervals is not necessarily identical with the mapping established by the patent val. Does that make sense? It may not be obvious that this is the case, but you can begin to see what I mean when you compare the best approximation of 49/32 in 159edo with a stack of two instances of the best approximation of 7/4 in that same EDO. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 03:03, 22 December 2021 (UTC) | ||
