=== Concern about the confusingness of nearest edomapping ===
It strikes me that the "nearest edomapping" would be the [[direct approximation]], so that the name is exactly a wrong self-description. Contrast with something like "nearest edomapping val" where the presence of the word "val" makes the meaning clearer. I really do not think it is a good idea to have this as a synonym for "patent val"; I don't think I've ever even seen it used. If it stays on the page at all, the name needs to be changed to something less confusing. --[[User:Godtone|Godtone]] ([[User talk:Godtone|talk]]) 21:56, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
