316edo
Theory
While not highly accurate for its size, 316et is the point where a few important temperaments meet, and is distinctly consistent in the 11-odd-limit. It tempers out the parakleisma, [8 14 -13⟩, the undim comma, [41 -20 -4⟩, and the maquila comma, [49 -6 -17⟩ in the 5-limit; 3136/3125, 4375/4374, 10976/10935 in the 7-limit; 3025/3024, 3388/3375, 9801/9800, and 14641/14580 in the 11-limit; and using the patent val, 1716/1715, 2080/2079, 2197/2187, 4096/4095, 4225/4224, 6656/6655, and 10648/10647 in the 13-limit; notably supporting Abigail and semiparakleismic.
It provides the optimal patent val for the rank-4 temperament tempering out 3388/3375, and triglav, which also tempers out 3025/3024.
