Epimericity vs (degree of) epimoricity

For a ratio [math]\frac{p}{q}[/math], the "degree of epimoricity" is defined as [math]p - q[/math], while "epimericity" corresponds to [math]\log_d(p - q)[/math]. The term "epimoric" refers to superparticular intervals, for which the "degree of epimoricity" is always 1, so I don't think "epimoricity" is appropriate compared to "epimericity". I would be tempted to call the former "epimericity" and the latter "logarithmic epimericity", but I'm not sure how common the existing terms currently are. --Fredg999 (talk) 07:03, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
