Is unison 2-limit or 1-limit?

"If you take two notes of identical pitch, they are said to be in the ratio of 1:1, ie a single helping of one note is the same size as a single helping of the other note. The highest prime number (in fact, the only number) in this ratio is 1, therefore this could be said to have a prime limit of 1. A 1-limit tuning system would not be very exciting, as you would only have one note!"

I would guess that reference is just wrong, because 1 is not a prime number and the tonalsoft reference contradicts it. ResonantFrequencies (talk) 01:11, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
