Original Wikitext content:
A //lesfip scale// (LEast Squares FIxed Point) is a scale which for some range of values for error tolerance, is a fixed point for the least squares algorithm minimizing the sum of squared error relative to some target list of intervals. That is, when we minimize the sum of the squares of all of the errors less than some fixed value such as seven cents, we obtain the same scale back again.
