For instance, the syntonic comma is |-4 4 -1>. A geometric interpretation of this interval might be as a point in a space, like the point (-4, 4, -1). You'd plot this point by going -4 steps on the x axis, 4 steps on the y axis, and -1 steps on the z-axis. And if you really want to think of it like a vector in the sense that some high school or college algebra courses teach it, you can also draw an arrow with a big arrowhead from the origin that connects to this point. Here's a picture of that: | For instance, the syntonic comma is |-4 4 -1>. A geometric interpretation of this interval might be as a point in a space, like the point (-4, 4, -1).

Paul's "A Middle Path" paper has so many good plots of this that I might as well just point anyone interested to take a look at it over there: [[http://sethares.engr.wisc.edu/paperspdf/Erlich-MiddlePath.pdf]] | Paul's "A Middle Path" paper has so many good plots of this that I might as well just point anyone interested to take a look at it over there: [[http://sethares.engr.wisc.edu/paperspdf/Erlich-MiddlePath.pdf]] | ||
