The 460 equal divisions of the octave (460edo), or the 460(-tone) equal temperament (460tet, 460et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, divides the octave into 460 equal parts of about 2.61 cents each.
Theory
460edo is a very strong 19-limit system and is uniquely consistent to the 21-odd-limit, with harmonics of 3 to 19 all tuned flat. It tempers out the schisma, 32805/32768, in the 5-limit and 4375/4374 and 65536/65625 in the 7-limit, so that it supports pontiac. In the 11-limit it tempers of 43923/43904, 3025/3024 and 9801/9800; in the 13-limit 1001/1000, 4225/4224 and 10648/10647; in the 17-limit 833/832, 1089/1088, 1225/1224, 1701/1700, 2058/2057, 2431/2430, 2601/2600 and 4914/4913; and in the 19-limit 1331/1330, 1445/1444, 1521/1520, 1540/1539, 1729/1728, 2376/2375, 2926/2925, 3136/3135, 3250/3249 and 4200/4199. It serves as the optimal patent val for various temperaments such as the rank-5 temperament tempering out 833/832 and 1001/1000. 460edo supports the 460 & 1789 temperament in the 2.9.5.7.11.13 subgroup called commatose.
