Its step, as well as the octave-inverted and octave-equivalent versions of it, holds the distinction for having around the highest [[harmonic entropy]] possible and thus is, in theory, most dissonant, assuming the relatively common values of ''a'' = 2 and ''s'' = 1.01. This property is shared with all edos between around 20 and 30. Intervals smaller than this tend to be perceived as unison and are more consonant as a result; intervals larger than this have less "tension" and thus are also more consonant. | Its step, as well as the octave-inverted and octave-equivalent versions of it, holds the distinction for having around the highest [[harmonic entropy]] possible and thus is, in theory, most dissonant, assuming the relatively common values of ''a'' = 2 and ''s'' = 1.01.
