We want to measure the error ''without having to fix any dyad'' (as one might naively fix a dyad and measure errors in the other deltas in relation to the fixed dyad). To do this we solve a least-squares optimization problem: use a root-sum-square objective function and optimize ''x'' (and any free deltas) to minimize that function.
