::::::::: It's fine to have it here now, but you cannot expect that I digest it right away. :-) The only thing I wanted to ask you in first place: is *arabian related to Arabic culture? I did not expect to face such a crazy word play: it is related not to "Arabic", but to the name of our Kazakhstan location "Farabi", with Arabic form "al" with the meaning close to the preposition "from", which makes the name of a person "from Farab", and the resulting name associated with the letter name "Alpha". After replacement of "Alpha" by "Beta" the name "Farabi" is totally dissolved, due to elimination of "F", forget about "al-". To see the real sophistication of it, we also have to remember that the form "al-" is Arabic, but Arabic analogs of Greek "Alpha" and "Beta" are read differently: "Alif" and "Ba". The wordplay is certainly pretty smart. And what kind of a person is supposed to figure out such puzzles? :-) | |||
::: Oh, great! Huygens-Fokker Foundation's list of intervals you referenced in the first paragraph of this section. It can help me to explain to you what is that very characteristic of communication problems I can see in the musicians. In the list, you can see the set of rational-number intervals and some names. Hopefully, all rational numbers in the list are irreducible fractions. What information does this page carry? Next to nothing. The only possible use is this: when you already got some interval from some other source, say, from your own calculation, you can check up: is it one of the well-known intervals or not, and, if it is, what is its well-known name? Even this information has some uncertainty, because, strictly speaking, "well-known" is something uncertain, so the only definitive information you get is this: is my interval on the Huygens-Fokker Foundation's list? :-). And yes, this is exactly what you've checked in this case. You cannot learn anything about any of the concrete commas from this page. For the contrast example, look at any good Wikipedia page. Sometimes you can start from some reference and end up with the study of an entire field of science... — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], ''Tuesday 2020 December 1, 02:06 UTC'' | ::: Oh, great!
