From this definition, it follows that C(0) is proportional to the square of [[Tenney-Euclidean temperament measures#TE simple badness|simple badness]], aka relative error. The leading coefficient of the polynomial defining C(x) is proportional to [[Tenney-Euclidean temperament measures#TE Complexity|TE complexity]]. Hence as x grows larger, C(x) increasingly weights smaller complexity temperaments as better, and in the limit becomes a complexity measure, whereas at 0 C(0) is a badness measure which strongly favors more accurate temperaments, being in fact a measure of relative error.

If Ca(x) is the Cangwu badness for rank r temperament 'a', and Cb(x) for 'b', we can say a //dominates// b if Cb(x)-Ca(x) is a positive function for x>=0, which says that the badness of 'a' is always less than the badness of 'b' for every choice of the parameter x. If a temperament is not dominated by any temperament of the same rank (and on the same subgroup, if we are considering subgroups) we may say it is //indomitable//. Examples of 5-limit indomitable temperaments are:
