Theory

401edo is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit and harmonic 3 is about halfway between its steps. Otherwise, it has a reasonable approximation to harmonics 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13, making it suitable for a 2.9.5.7.11.13 subgroup interpretation.

Using the patent val nonetheless, the equal temperament tempers out 283115520/282475249 and 703125/702464 in the 7-limit; 35156250/35153041, 2097152/2096325, 117649/117612, 226492416/226474325, 9765625/9732096, 42875/42768, 1375/1372, 5632/5625, 15488/15435, 202397184/201768035, 102487/102400 and 805255/802816 in the 11-limit. It provides the optimal patent val for diatessic, the 140 & 261 temperament.
