OM

Is OM an acronym, and if so, what does it stand for? --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 18:07, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

No, It's a reference to Hindu meditation practices, where said syllables are supposed to encompass the entire universe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om --Yourmusic Productions (talk) 18:39, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for explaining, Yourmusic. Well, I was asking because I thought that whatever the answer was should be explained in the article itself. But if it's some Hindu meditation practice reference — not a simple acronym for a math or music term — then I don't understand enough to explain the connection and/or motivation myself, so I must ask someone else to take care of explaining it, then. Perhaps you're up to the task, Yourmusic?

What I can tell at a glance from this Wikipedia article is that this Hindu sense of "Om" is typically capitalized, but not in all caps. So if this xenharmonic object's name is meant as a reference to this Hindu sense of Om, then it should match its capitalization, unless there's some other consideration. If there is, then that consideration should also be surfaced, as well as explained in the article itself. --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 19:14, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
