97edo: Difference between revisions

Cleanup +1
"Worst approximation" needs to be defined, replaced with a more vague evaluation. I think emancipation of dissonance is about using concordances of higher complexity rather than lack of concordances. Clarify that the table is using direct approximation and relative error

97edo has the worst approximation for [[superparticular]] intervals among edos up to 200. It has errors of well above one standard deviation (about 15.87%) in superparticular intervals with denominators up to 14. The first good approximation is the 16/15 semitone using the 9th note, with an error of 3%, meaning 97edo can be used as a rough version of [[16/15 equal-step tuning]].

Since 97edo is a prime edo, it lacks specific modulation circles, symmetrical chords or sub-edos that are present in composite edos. When edos like [[19edo|19]], [[29edo|29]], [[31edo|31]], [[41edo|41]], or [[53edo|53]] have mathematically justified harmony, 97edo is essentially "irredeemable" in terms of either modulation or approximation rationales. However, this might result in interest towards this tuning through emancipation of the dissonance.
