954 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 954edo or 954ed2), also called 954-tone equal temperament (954tet) or 954 equal temperament (954et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 954 equal parts of about 1.26 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/954, or the 954th root of 2.
954edo is a very strong 17-limit system, distinctly consistent in the 17-limit, and is a zeta peak, integral and gap edo. The tuning of the primes to 17 are all flat, and the equal temperament tempers out the ennealimma, [1 -27 18⟩, in the 5-limit and 2401/2400 and 4375/4374 in the 7-limit, so that it supports the ennealimmal temperament. In the 11-limit it tempers out 3025/3024, 9801/9800, 43923/43904, and 151263/151250 so that it supports hemiennealimmal. In the 13-limit it tempers out 4225/4224 and 10648/10647 and in the 17-limit 2431/2430 and 2601/2600. It supports and gives the optimal patent val for the semihemiennealimmal temperament.
Beyond the 17-limit, the 954hj val is the most accurate, with a lower relative error than any previous equal temperaments in the 31-limit. In the 954hj val, 19/16, 29/16, and their octave complements are the only inconsistent intervals in the 35-odd-limit, which are in fact the very primes with warts.
