:: I also thought of ''reach'' first. Interesting that you brought up "telicity range" in the end. I'm not so happy with the new term "multitelicity"; as long "telicity" as is not completely clear, "multitelicity" will be even harder to define. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 23:20, 20 January 2021 (UTC) | :: I also thought of ''reach'' first.

::: I mean, the only things I know for sure are that "telicity" builds on Inthar's concept of "Consistency to distance ''d''" in terms of its core definition. | ::: I mean, the only things I know for sure are that "telicity" builds on Inthar's concept of "Consistency to distance ''d''" in terms of its core definition. While I often use the term "telicity" to refer to this concept as a whole, perhaps in order to define this concept itself more clearly, we need to look at the adjective "telic", as "telicity" itself means "the quality or state of being telic". | ||
::: For its part, "telic", when used to describe an EDO, can be defined as "able to successfully stack a number of instances of a given prime's [[patent interval]] to connect with an interval belonging to a chain created by a lower prime's [[patent interval]] (designated as the 'telos') without either accumulating 50% relative error or more at any point in the process on the part of either prime's patent interval chain, or, creating as mismatch in results between the [[direct mapping]] and the more complicated traditional mapping for any interval along the chain – all by means of tempering one or more commas smaller than half a step". From this, we get the definition of "telic" when used to describe a comma, which "able to join two distinct prime interval chains [in the aforementioned manner] by being tempered". | ::: For its part, "telic", when used to describe an EDO, can be defined as "able to successfully stack a number of instances of a given prime's [[patent interval]] to connect with an interval belonging to a chain created by a lower prime's [[patent interval]] (designated as the 'telos') without either accumulating 50% relative error or more at any point in the process on the part of either prime's patent interval chain, or, creating as mismatch in results between the [[direct mapping]] and the more complicated traditional mapping for any interval along the chain – all by means of tempering one or more commas smaller than half a step".
