If we mark where 5/4 lies on this picture, we immediately know its associated Pythagorean interval has `g = 4`, since it falls inside the region marked with "M3 (+4)". In the picture below, 5/4 and a few other octave-reduced prime harmonics are marked.

An advantage of the NFJS is that its RoT and fifth sequence result in a cleaner division of the octave compare to the FJS. In fact, the NFJS' division of the octave is almost exactly the same as that in Margo Schulter's [https://www.bestii.com/~mschulter/IntervalSpectrumRegions.txt Regions of the Interval Spectrum] - they're within ±5 cents! In the image below, the regions on the top are exactly those defined in Schulter's article, and the regions on the bottom are exactly those defined by the NFJS.
