In [[just Intonation]], '''1/1''' (also called the '''unison''' or '''perfect prime''') represents the base frequency from which an interval is measured. As a frequency ratio, it is simply 1. Measured in [[cent]]s (or any other logarithmic measure such as millioctaves, [[EDO]] steps, etc.) it is exactly zero.
The '''unison''' (interval ratio '''1/1''') is the [[interval]] between two tones that are identical in pitch. In the  [[harmonic series]], 1/1 is the 1st [[harmonic]].
 
Measured in [[cent]]s (or any other logarithmic measure such as [[millioctave]]s, [[EDO]] steps, etc.), the unison's size is exactly 0. This is because the distance between two identical pitches is zero. As such, the unison can be considered as a degenerate interval.
 
In [[just intonation]], 1/1 represents the base frequency from which an interval is measured.
