'''Om''' temperament is the rank-0 temperament, in which every interval is a comma. Thus all notes are represented by the same note. This is different from 1edo because not even octaves exist; it could be described as [[0edo]]. The mapping for this is the 0-val, <0 0 ... 0|. | '''Om''' temperament is the rank-0 temperament, in which every interval is a comma. Thus all notes are represented by the same note.

The name "Om" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Om|that syllable's use in Hindu meditation practices]]; [[Keenan Pepper]] gave it this name because there's only one temperament-distinct pitch in the whole system, in the same way that "Om" in the meditation sense is the only word you need to create the whole universe. | |||
