Talk:Optimal ET sequence: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

::: The sequence "terminates" as no more GPVs turn up after a sufficiently large index. Any temperament has a fixed error, whereas the sequence of all GPV's errors converges to zero, so all GPVs has less error than the temperament past a certain point. Obviously my code doesn't know it, and you must set the range yourself. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 21:28, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

:::: I expect that most readers who see "optimal GPV sequence" in temperament catalogs, if they can figure it out at all, will assume that "GPV" must mean "supporting ET" (i.e. "ET that supports this temperament"), which of course it does not. So I think these should be called "optimal supporting-ET sequence" or if that's considered too long then "optimal ET sequence" since why would it be listed against the temperament if it didn't support it. Is there such a thing as an ET that doesn't have a uniform map/GPV? If so, the uniform map/GPV requirement can simply be made part of the optimality requirement.
