A rather strange recurring theme is 60edo is liked by zeta a surprising amount, but looking at its low- and high-limit tuning profile it doesn't seem that remarkable to me. (A strange coincidence is some time ago I had a dream that this was a good edo. That doesn't happen often at all (dreaming about edos, let alone a specific one being good). Also happens to be significant as the simplest way to represent fourth-order ambiguities in my theory of functional harmony which I derived from first principles starting from [[Ringer scale]]s (especially Perfect Ringer scales), so that (other than the 12edo intervals) it represents the most xenmelodically nontrivial categories available (which correspond to areas of nontrivial harmony).)

That doesn't happen often at all (dreaming about edos, let alone a specific one being good; the dream said its 11-limit was good; maybe that's true in the sense that the high errors of 5, 7 and 11 can easily cancel each-other out in ratios or composites, since zeta doesn't obey a val).
