== The Accuracy Fever Dream ==

This morning I had this weird fever dream about an increasingly futile effort to achieve perfect 5-limit and 7-limit accuracy by way of representation of pitches using DNA fragments (which I sometimes have to manipulate in my day job, although not for the purpose of representing pitches — that's a new one on me). DNA fragments representing the [[syntonic comma]], the [[schisma]], the [[64/63|septimal comma]], and the [[garischisma]] were in little tubes of DNA, but as the commas got divided up in the ever more frantic quest for accuracy, the tubes of increasingly chopped-up DNA fragments representing increasingly smaller comma fractions got all mixed up into ''little pieces parts'' that nobody could any longer keep track of, and eventually I had to give up and pick some no-longer-identified DNA fragment representing (maybe) a random syntonic comma fragment and make a post with it concluding that we had reached saturation to the point of [[just-noticeable difference]] in the quest for accuracy, and that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H5WKuQ-an0 ''parts is parts''].
