spook, 581-ed2
[Joe Monzo, Tonalsoft Encyclopedia of Microtonal Music Theory]
A small unit of interval measurement.
A spook is one degree of 581-edo, the logarithmic division of the octave into 581 equal parts. It is calculated as the 581st root of 2, expressed mathematically as 581√2, or 2(1/581), with a ratio of approximately 1:1.0011937363438692. It is an irrational number. The formula for calculating the absolute floating-point spook value of any ratio is: spooks = log10r * [581 / log102] or spooks = log2r * 581 , where r is the ratio.
Some tuning-theorists advocate the use of the spook as a logarithmic measurement used to compare interval sizes because it approximates 23-limit JI to high degree of accuracy.

some intervals mapped to 581-edo
(Note that while 581-edo is very accurate for prime-factors 5, 7, 11, 13, and 19, and also quite accurate for factors 3, 17, and 23, ratios listed here which include other prime-factors above 23 are not represented well in this tuning, and are given only for comparison with their mappings in other tunings. This can be seen easily in the "error" column.)

spooks calculator
This calculator's result is an absolute spook value of a ratio. However, the true value in employing the spook is that it maps the prime-factors 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, and 23 so accurately that once the mapping of those primes is known, the ratio simply needs to be factored and then the spook-values may be added, the integer result providing a very accurate measurement of a ratio, obviating the need for decimal-places.
