User:Kaiveran/OLITTA Distance

Odd-limit-integrating triangularized taxicab distance (or OLITTA Distance, for short) is a modified form of triangularized taxicab distance, developed by Kaiveran in response to an issue raised by Kite Giedraitis in his original formulation, namely that the procedure can designate certain intervals as "2-steps" (e.g 9/7) which are in fact less complex both in prime- and odd-limit than some "1-steps" (e.g 11/7).

Default Procedure

(bleh, odd-number step down, include adjacent non-primes [e.g 13-prime-limit automatically extends to 15], open with comparison to Kite)

Tweaks

(you can include more or less odd non-primes into the OLITTA measure, like a 7-limit that doesn't include 9s, or a 23-limit that includes both 25 and 27

The chief disadvantage of this case is that there then ceases to be a singular OLITTA measure.)
