	'''Octave reduction''' is the process of ~~multiplying~~ an interval with a whole-number power of 2 until it has a real-number value greater or equal than 1 ("[[1/1]]", the [[unison]]) and less than 2 ("[[2/1]]", the [[octave]]):		'''Octave reduction''' is the process of transposing an interval by [[octave]]s so that the resulted size falls between the [[unison]] and the [[octave]]. Formally, this means multiplying the [[frequency ratio]] with a whole-number power of 2 until it has a real-number value greater or equal than 1 ("[[1/1]]", the unison) and less than 2 ("[[2/1]]", the octave):

	1 <= r < 2		1 <= r < 2
