Hi Dan, ... Well, as you can see from what i wrote, if you carry out the division of the pythagorean-comma's ratio, 531441/524288, as far as it will go, you...
I've adapted Gene's Kees integral tuning, as far as I understand it, to Tenney weighting for arbitrary regular temperaments. The result is that it gives the...

... It didn't make sense to me, since it seemed you were using measure polytopes = rectangular hypersolids and not cross-polytopes (n-dimensional octahedrons)...
... Octahedrons? I can see replacing hypercubes with hyperspheres would be more valid, but also more difficult. For now you get weighted hypercubes. What I...

Hi Dan, ... The Sumerians used ordinary base-10 for everyday stuff, the same as we do. For their more intricate math calculations, they used base-60. Their...
