m Theory: include more harmonics and offer short explanation on their possible value

There's also a cluster of usable higher primes starting at 71; even 89 (4.84{{cent}} flat), 97 (4.63{{cent}} sharp) and 101 (2.6{{cent}} sharp) are usable if placed in just the right context.

This make [[53edo]] excellent (for its size) in the 2.3.5.7.11.13.19.23.37.41.71.73.79.83 subgroup, although some higher error primes like 11 and 23 require the right context to be convincing.


Note that the high primes, in rooted (/2<sup>n</sup>) position, essentially act as alternate interpretations of [[LCJI]] intervals, if you want to force a rooted interpretation; namely:
[[71/64]] as ~[[10/9]], [[73/64]] as ~[[8/7]], [[79/64]] as ~[[16/13]], and perhaps most questionably in the context of [[53edo]], [[83/64]] as ~[[13/10]]. (Note that [[8edo]] offers a very good approximation of [[83/64]], so if you are working with a system that maps 13/10 to 3\8 = 450.000{{cent}} it makes more sense to think of 83/64 as the rooted approximation of 13/10 in that context.)
