[[EDO|Equal divisions of the octave]] and equal [[temperament]]s are not the same thing, at least not in concept. An equal division of the octave is just that--a division of the pure 2/1 octave of 1200 cents into some number of equal parts. An equal temperament, on the other hand, is what you get when you take an EDO and declare its intervals to be approximations to Just Intonation, thus adding a new conceptual layer on top of the bare equal division. | [[EDO|Equal divisions of the octave]] and equal [[temperament]]s are not the same thing, at least not in concept.
