m an interval can't be "mostly" just; it either is just or isn't. Perhaps you mean "usually"?

A '''patent interval''' of a (usually just) interval is the number of EDO steps of the "best" mapping of an interval in a respective EDO. It's calculated by [[rounding]] the product of [[Wikipedia: binary logarithm| binary logarithm]] (''log2'') of the interval ratio (''r'') and the EDO number (''nEdo'').
