Stated more mathematically, if N-edo is an [[EDO|equal division of the octave]], and if for any interval r, N(r) is the best N-edo approximation to r, then N is '''consistent''' with respect to a set of intervals S if for any two intervals a and b in S where ab is also in S, N(ab) = N(a) + N(b). Normally this is considered when S is the set of [[Odd_limit|q odd limit intervals]], consisting of everything of the form 2^n u/v, where u and v are odd integers less than or equal to q. N is then said to be ''q limit consistent''. If each interval in the q-limit is mapped to a unique value by N, then it said to be ''uniquely q limit consistent''. | Stated more mathematically, if N-edo is an [[EDO|equal division of the octave]], and if for any interval r, N(r) is the best N-edo approximation to r, then N is '''consistent''' with respect to a set of intervals S if for any two intervals a and b in S where ab is also in S, N(ab) = N(a) + N(b).

Page ''[[Minimal consistent EDOs]]'' shows the smallest edo that is consistent or uniquely consistent in a given odd limit while page ''[[Consistency levels of small EDOs]]'' shows the largest odd limit that a given edo is consistent or uniquely consistent in. | |||
