It is derived as follows:


For each integer k, the relative error on that integer in the continuum of equal tunings follows a zigzag line where 1 is an equal division of k, and 0 is an odd equal division of 2k (which has the largest possible error on k). Such a zigzag line takes the form of:
For each integer harmonic k, the relative error on that integer in the continuum of equal tunings follows a zigzag line where 1 is an equal division of k, and 0 is an odd equal division of 2k (which has the largest possible error on k). Such a zigzag line takes the form of:
