== The general problem of the motivation section ==

It focuses too much on how to make inconsistency workable and doesn't touch on how and why to think of the intervals the interval space/lattice way. I'll be giving it a major rewrite to address that.

==Ditch wart notation?==

Why don't we ditch wart notation? Sintel has demonstrated a much clearer notation on his temperament finder. For example, if you want 13edo mapped with its flat fifth, that would be 13b in wart notation and 13[-3] in Sintel's notation. Which is clearer?

To further complicate things, let's say you wanted 26b-edo. Based on what I just said about 13b, one might assume that 26b means 26 with the fifth flattened by 1 edxostep. That's not the case, so Sintel swoops in to save the day by using the notation 26[+3] to refer to 26b. In fact, if you want 26 with the fifth flattened by 1 edostep, that would be 26bb. What. The. F. Double. Sharp. Just call it 26[-3] like Sintel does, for goodness sakes!

I hope my point is clear (unlike wart notation): Wart notation is bad. I hope this discussion will be able to continue and result in the END of wart notation.
