The **Fokker block** is one of the most notable inventions of the physicist and music theorist [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriaan_Fokker|Adriaan Fokker]]. While the idea generalizes easily to [[just intonation subgroups]], for ease of exposition we will suppose that we are in a [[Harmonic Limit|p-limit]] situation with n=pi(p) primes up to an including p.
