Confusing sentence

"The division is notable for the fact that it is related to the turkish cent, or türk sent, which divides 106edo into 100 parts just as ordinary cents divides 12edo into 100 parts, thereby making it the relative cent division for 106edo. Conversely, it makes the Pythagorean relative cent (or pion, symbol π¢, π), which most closely approximates equally dividing an exact 3/2." What is the pythagorean relative cent, exactly? Is it a hundredth of a 3/2, 7.01955 ¢? If so, then 106edo's step isn't very close to it, and it is much closer to the step of 171edo. Or is it close to the türk sent, and is the step of 6200edf (106edo with the fifth just rather than the octave, and split into 100 steps)? IMO, there shouldn't really be a "Pythagorean relative cent" because Pythagorean tuning isn't an equal-step tuning. This sentence is very confusing and needs to be rewritten or deleted.--Overthink (talk) 00:49, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
