Logarithmic mathematical constants vs acoustic mathematical constants

When we are hearing logarithmic phi, we are in fact hearing the number 2**(phi) = 3.070 Same thing for logarithmic pi, the number that comes to our hears is 2**(pi) = 8.825

While these intervals can still be used in a way or another in a musical context, they don't correspond to anything.

When it comes to acoustic constants, we are truly hearing the numbers phi = 1.6180 and pi = 3.1416
