Ed12 means Division of the Twelfth Harmonic (12/1) into n equal parts.
Division of the twelfth harmonic into n equal parts
The twelfth harmonic is particularly wide as far as equivalences go. There are (at absolute most) ~3.1 dodecataves within the human hearing range; imagine if that were the case with octaves. If one does indeed deal with dodecatave equivalence, this fact shapes one's musical approach dramatically. Also, the ed12-edo correspondences fall particularly close to the harmonic series of the NTSC or PAL-M color subcarrier:
