In particle physics, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baryon baryons] , which are the main building blocks of atomic nuclei, are always comprised of three quarks. One could draw an analogy between baryons and semitones (the main building block of 12edo); the baryon is comprised of three quarks and the semitone of three sixth-tones. The number of quarks in a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_charge colorless] particle is always a multiple of three; similarly, the width of "colorless" intervals (the 12-edo intervals, which are neither red nor blue), expressed in terms of sixth-tones, is always a multiple of three. Because of this amusing coincidence, ~~I (~~Mason Green~~) propose~~ referring to the 33.333-cent sixth-tone interval as a "quark".
