==Random stuff I’d like to share==
==Random stuff I’d like to share==
===Ratios as planets===
The ratios of the octave as celestial bodies of the solar system:
* '''[[2/1]], the sun''', defining the overall structure of the entire octave.
* '''[[3/2]], Jupiter''', the biggest pull aside from the sun itself. Marks out a rough middle of the solar system.
* '''[[4/3]], Saturn''', a kind of echo of Jupiter. Vast and mighty in its own right, similar to Jupiter, but colder and subtler.
* '''[[5/3]], Uranus''', has a strong enough pull to be one of the big guys, but markedly smaller than Jupiter and Saturn. Has a gentle appearance.
* '''[[5/4]], Neptune''', the last of the giant planets, with their huge gravitational pull. Has an energetic, lively surface with the fastest winds in the solar system. Defines the boundary of the Kuiper Belt (like the boundary of major and minor tonality).
* '''[[6/5]], Earth''', a small planet that punches above its weight. It manages to hold an unreasonably large moon, given the small gravitational influence it has. It even developed life and sent probes to explore the other planets. It has far more influence than it seems like it should.
* '''[[7/4]], Venus''', a kind of parallel version of Earth. Its diameter and gravitational pull are almost identical to Earth, but its character is completely different. Home to a completely different temperature, chemical composition and volcanic system.
* '''[[7/5]], Mars''', appears barren and frozen upon first glance, but looking closer reveals a rich and storied history, and potential wonders and microcosms hidden in its underground caves.
* '''[[8/5]], Mercury'''. Caught in a region of the solar system so wild that much of its mass has been stripped away by the solar wind while it was still forming. Still, it holds firm, a foothold in difficult territory.
* '''[[7/6]], the moon'''. Caught in Earth’s orbit, it’s difficult to view separately from the Earth’s influence. If the Earth wasn’t there, it’d be a whole planet in its own right.
* '''[[9/5]], Ceres'''. It doesn’t pull much weight on its own, but in the context of the wider solar system, it demarcates an important in-between point for the other planets. If you want to travel between the different planets, Ceres makes the journey much more pleasant.
* '''[[11/8]], Pluto''', often dismissed outright due to having such a tiny gravitational pull. But it is a whole other type of ‘planet’, the first of a whole new family. When approached on its own terms, it opens up a larger, more diverse solar system than we ever knew existed.
