(The 1\2m threshold is meant to allow stacking ''m'' dyads that occur in the chord without having the sum of the dyads have over 50% relative error. Since "consistent to distance m" conveys the idea that a small part of the JI lattice is mapped nicely, an approximation consistent to distance m would play more nicely in a regular temperament-style [[subgroup]] context.)

Since "consistent to distance ''m''" conveys the idea that a local neighborhood of the consonant chord in the JI lattice is mapped nicely, an approximation consistent to distance ''m'' would play more nicely in a regular temperament-style [[subgroup]] context.)


For example, 4:5:6:7:9:15 is consistent to distance 1 in [[31edo]].
