===The ruler metaphor for microtonality=== | |||
An entirely boring yet informative metaphor. | |||
===The colors metaphor for microtonality=== | |||
Imagine you're a painter. All your life, you have been told that there are only twelve colors, that any shade between two of the colors is just an out-of-tune version of one of the 'real' colors... | |||

This is a polar graph of the values of all the fractions between 0 and 1 with numerator less than 32.
