This feels like the one time the mathematical universe was created imperfect

Not to mention, sound and chords are recursive in structure and use a Fourier series to create their wavelengths. Our ears dissect sounds via a Fourier transform to split the sounds we hear into different frequencies and different sounds (this allows us to hear different sounds and chords). In the ear itself, tiny hairs are tuned to each frequency and do this transformation.

We can construct the entire C Major scale if we use 432 Hz using chess prices on a cordinate plane. I’ll message you how ♟️

Next time the guy comes to tune our piano I will be sure to check his math first 🫡

Intentional imperfection can sometimes be more harmonious

well thankfully they're some what close and not completely out of proportion or no where each other that's something right *cries in ADHD 😔 😢 😭

all this assuming that we stick to 12 notes for the scale, right? Is there any way to do this, maybe adding more notes/keys?

As a math minor in college, I took Intro to Music Theory and Theory 1A. Surprised me how much (somewhat) simple math was actually involved.

The instigator in me wants to point out that "perfect" is subjective. Can we compare the math of other music systems to see if/how they may have compensated?

in the recording of scar tissue by RHCP, john detunes one of his strings away from equal temperament to sacrifice the octave but make a better major third

That has blown my mind a little. Is there a way to divide up what we currently call octaves to make the mathematics work out? I assume it would end up being a large number that isn’t quite a multiple of 12, so quite difficult to actually use.
