Digression thread: Coherence is overrated


Recommended Posts

What does it all mean? :o

7/4+8/7=2/1

No it isn't.

Sure it does.

Any ratio (in this case, the 7th harmonic, 7/4) plus the interval representing the complement of that ratio (8/7) equals an octave.

Ah, should have realised you weren't talking maths.

I'll take what you've said on trust. :D

I think it's called linear geometry...maybe some kind of physics. Intervals from the harmonic series, tuning an instrument to the system known as Just Intonation.

Uh oh...the thread is getting derailed again...can't have that happen.
