Ultimate pyth. It has an unfathomably perfect 2.3, and I say that in an almost literal sense. It is very much fathomable, obviously: the beat period of 665edo's fifth is 5077906.80060 s*Hz with two sawtooth waves in perfect sync, which would be around 3 hours, 12 minutes 21 seconds at f=440. 3 fucking hours. That's what it would take you to hear the beating of 665edo. It is, for all intents and purposes, unfathomable to focused human perception. Or, you could make a 3-hour track out of this.

Or, you could make a 3-hour track out of this and sell it to ''connoisseurs'' disenchanted with the mainstream.

However, this is not why you would use 665edo, as this essentially allows you to extend the precision limit of the chain of fifths from very good to ''extreme,'' by adding the mercator (+53 fifths) and an equalized qian comma (+306/-359 fifths) into the mix, also working as a schisma. Yes, it has a bad prime 11, but it is surprisingly good in the rest of primes up to the 27-odd-limit, which is very surprising for a convergent. I will likely never use this, but since I do greatly care about the chain of fifths as a theoretical construct, I care about this ''theoretically''. A-

This level of fineness is at the bleeding edge of insanity. The precision of this behemoth is unfathomable. I firmly believe no sane person would compose anything requiring a tuning precision higher than what this offers. And I'm one to ~~oogle~~ at impossibly gargantuan edos, I'll admit, but that ~~oogling~~ is only theoretical. Beyond here... there be monsters... and hot sauce. C

This is the next edo in the list of record k-strong telicity, and it starts to get scary from this point. This is '''unadulterated cosmic horror''' disguised as math in the 3-limit, forget about the rest of primes. The beat period of this fifth is 984 572 779 224.54 s*Hz with two sawtooth waves in perfect sync, which would be around 70 years and 331 days at f=440. This edo has a fifth that is accurate to a level that is quite possibly beyond the scope of a human lifetime. Think about it. There is a chance you'll die before listening to 190537edo's fifth beat, at f=440.

This edo has a fifth that is accurate to a level that is quite possibly beyond the scope of a human lifetime. Think about it. There is a chance you'll die before listening to 190537edo's fifth beat even once, at f=440.

If you say that you need accuracy to this precision, I am, beyond a reasonable doubt, wholly confident you are not human, or not anymore. Perhaps in a couple centuries, posthumanity will be able to comprehend this near-perfection, but as we stand right now, it is impossible to comprehend. Unrankable.

If you say that you need accuracy to this precision to do any semblance of a musical work, I am, beyond a reasonable doubt, wholly confident that you are joking or neck deep in bullshit. And if for some god-removed reason you aren't... you are literally not human, or not anymore. Perhaps in a couple centuries, posthumanity will be able to comprehend this near-perfection, but as we stand right now, it is impossible to comprehend. Unrankable.
