From this particular sample, we can deduce that there are three fundamental premises of the Alpharabian tuning system:
From this particular sample, we can deduce that there are several fundamental premises of the Alpharabian tuning system:


* Intervals that are in the 2.11 subgroup are all considered Alpharabian intervals.
* Intervals that are in the 2.11 subgroup are all considered Alpharabian intervals.
* Intervals that result from the modification of a Pythagorean interval by 1089/1024 are labeled similarly to those modified in the equivalent fashion by [[2187/2048]], the only difference being that modification by 1089/1024 results in an Alpharabian interval rather than a Pythagorean interval.
* The intervals [[3/2]], [[4/3]], [[9/8]], [[16/9]], and so forth, have the same functions as in [[Pythagorean tuning]].
* Since 1089/1024 is (33/32)^2, modifying a Pythagorean interval by 33/32 always results in an interval that is considered "Alpharabian".
* Intervals that result from the modification of a Pythagorean interval by [[1089/1024]] are labeled similarly to those modified in the equivalent fashion by [[2187/2048]], the only difference being that modification by 1089/1024 results in an Alpharabian interval rather than a Pythagorean interval.
 
* Since 1089/1024 is (33/32)^2, modifying a Pythagorean interval by [[33/32]] always results in an interval that is considered "Alpharabian".
I should also point out that there's also at least one known secondary premise at play:
* As both the [[243/242|rastma]] and [[1331/1296]] are [[Diatonic, Chromatic, Enharmonic, Subchromatic|subchromas]] that form differences between members of the 2.11 subgroup and Pythagorean intervals, both of these subchromas belong to a set of intervals defining different interval sets within Alpharabian tuning, and subchromas within this particular interval set help define the differences between Pythagorean, Alpharabian and Betarabian intervals.

The following rules are directly derived from the above premises:
