311edo is a remarkable very high limit equal temperament, dividing the octave equally into 311 parts of 3.859 cents each.

Theory

311edo is consistent through the 41-prime-limited add-73 77-odd-limit and uniquely consistent through the 23-odd-limit and is a zeta gap edo and a zeta peak integer edo. It achieves this because except for the prime harmonics greater than 41 (but not including the prime 73 which is tuned accurately, in fact more accurately than all prior primes), all harmonics up to and including the 80th are more in-tune than out-of-tune with 311edo and thus all the ratios between those harmonics are mapped consistently – and thus with a maximum error of ~1.929¢. This means 311edo is an extremely efficient temperament for approximating the harmonic series consistently and simply, given how much harmonic content it approximates/represents for its size.

Some 41-limit commas it tempers out are 595/594, 625/624, 697/696, 703/702, 714/713, 760/759, 784/783, 820/819, 833/832, 875/874, 900/899, 925/924, 931/930, 962/961, 969/968, 1000/999, 1015/1014, 1024/1023, 1025/1024, 1036/1035, 1045/1044, 1054/1053, 1105/1104, 1148/1147, 1156/1155, 1184/1183, 1189/1188, 1190/1189, 1197/1196, 1210/1209, 1216/1215, 1225/1224, 1275/1274, 1288/1287, 1312/1311, 1332/1331, 1353/1352, 1365/1364, 1369/1368, 1444/1443, 1445/1444, 1450/1449, 1480/1479, 1496/1495, 1519/1518, 1520/1519, 1540/1539, 1596/1595, 1600/1599, 1625/1624, 1665/1664, 1666/1665, 1681/1680, 1683/1682, 1702/1701, 1729/1728, 1768/1767, 1805/1804, 1860/1859, 1886/1885, 1887/1886, 1925/1924, 2002/2001, 2016/2015, 2025/2024, 2058/2057, 2080/2079, 2091/2090, 2109/2108, 2146/2145, 2176/2175, 2185/2184, 2205/2204, 2233/2232, 2255/2254, 2295/2294, 2296/2295, 2300/2299, 2401/2400, 2431/2430, 2432/2431, 2465/2464, 2500/2499, 2542/2541, 2553/2552, 2584/2583, 2601/2600, 2625/2624, 2640/2639, 2646/2645, 2665/2664, 2737/2736, 2738/2737, 2755/2754, 2784/2783, 2850/2849, 2926/2925, and 2945/2944.
