Theory
152edo is a strong 11-limit system, with the 3, 5, 7, and 11 slightly sharp. It tempers out 1600000/1594323 (amity comma) and [32 -7 -9⟩ (escapade comma) in the 5-limit; 4375/4374, 5120/5103, 6144/6125 and 16875/16807 in the 7-limit; 540/539, 1375/1372, 3025/3024, 4000/3993, 5632/5625 and 9801/9800 in the 11-limit. It provides the optimal patent val for the 11-limit linear temperaments amity, grendel, and kwai, and the 11-limit planar temperament laka.
It has two reasonable mappings for 13, with the 152f val scoring much better. The 152f val tempers out 352/351, 625/624, 640/637, 729/728, 847/845, 1188/1183, 1575/1573, 1716/1715 and 2080/2079, supporting and giving an excellent tuning for amity, kwai, and laka. The patent val tempers out 169/168, 325/324, 351/350, 364/363, 1001/1000, 1573/1568, and 4096/4095, providing the optimal patent val for the 13-limit rank-5 temperament tempering out 169/168, as well as some further temperaments thereof, such as octopus.
Paul Erlich has suggested that 152edo could be considered a sort of universal tuning.
