I think the formulation "1:3:5:7:9:11 is consistent in 31edo" or "31edo is consistent with 1:3:5:7:9:11" is more obviously meaningful than "31edo is consistent in the 11-odd limit". A set of odd numbers such as an odd limit corresponds to a harmonic series chord independent of voicing. | I think the formulation "1:3:5:7:9:11 is consistent in 31edo" or "31edo is consistent with 1:3:5:7:9:11" is more obviously meaningful than "31edo is consistent in the 11-odd limit".

== Set a semi-objective standard for stating edos as subgroup temperaments == | |||
We need a criterion that's objective as possible when an EDO is said to be good for JI subgroups. Some suggestions: | |||
# absolute error? (arbitrary since different people accept different amount of error) | |||
# [[consistent]]? (breaks for small edos; actual accuracy depends too much on the size of the edo) | |||
# consistent to distance 1? (see new definition in [[Consistent]] page), The justification is that some small piece of the JI subgroup lattice (maybe to distance one of the "fundamental chord") should map "consistently" in the edo, in addition to the chord itself being consistent. | |||
