Interestingly, if one were to record themself clapping a 6:5 polyrhythm (6 eighth notes over an eighth note quintuplet), then speed up the audio by a factor of 1000, one would hear the same 6:5 minor third described above. For more information about how pitch is perceived, see psychoacoustics.

=== The Harmonic Series As A Fractal[edit | edit source] ===
The harmonic series contains an infinite number of harmonic series within it. By isolating every numbered partial with a given factor, one finds that an entire harmonic series manifests within this smaller subset of the original harmonic series.
