From this definition, it follows that C(0) is proportional to the square of <a class="wiki_link" href="/Tenney-Euclidean%20temperament%20measures#TE simple badness">simple badness</a>, aka relative error. The leading coefficient of the polynomial defining C(x) is proportional to <a class="wiki_link" href="/Tenney-Euclidean%20temperament%20measures#TE Complexity">TE complexity</a>. 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.</body></html></pre></div> | From this definition, it follows that C(0) is proportional to the square of <a class="wiki_link" href="/Tenney-Euclidean%20temperament%20measures#TE simple badness">simple badness</a>, aka relative error.
