* Intervals that are in the 2.11 subgroup are all considered Axirabian intervals as 2.11 forms a core navigational axis of Alpharabian tuning. | * Intervals that are in the 2.11 subgroup are all considered Axirabian intervals as 2.11 forms a core navigational axis of Alpharabian tuning. | ||
* The intervals [[3/2]], [[4/3]], [[9/8]], [[16/9]], and so forth, have the same functions as in [[Pythagorean tuning]]. | * The intervals [[3/2]], [[4/3]], [[9/8]], [[16/9]], and so forth, have the same functions as in [[Pythagorean tuning]]. | ||
* The interval 33/32 | * The interval 33/32 is the standard Alpharabian quartertone due to not only being the simplest quartertone in the 2.3.11 subgroup, but also due to the fact that stacking three of these and subtracting the resulting interval from 9/8 yields the simplest possible interval that can result from such as process; furthermore, modification of a Pythagorean interval by this quartertone generally results in an Alpharabian interval- the only two known exceptions to this being 11/8 and 16/11, which differ from 4/3 and 3/2 respectively by this interval. | ||
* The rastma, [[243/242]], is functionally the simplest type of Alpharabian [[Diatonic, Chromatic, Enharmonic, Subchromatic|subchroma]] and since three instances of 243/242 are almost equal to [[81/80]] in JI, one can closely approach just [[5-limit]] intervals simply by moving three rastmas away from Pythagorean intervals; furthermore, modification of a Pythagorean interval by this subchroma generally results in an Alpharabian interval- the only two known exceptions to this being 121/64 and 128/121, which differ from 243/128 and 256/243 respectively by this interval. | * The rastma, [[243/242]], is functionally the simplest type of Alpharabian [[Diatonic, Chromatic, Enharmonic, Subchromatic|subchroma]] and since three instances of 243/242 are almost equal to [[81/80]] in JI, one can closely approach just [[5-limit]] intervals simply by moving three rastmas away from Pythagorean intervals; furthermore, modification of a Pythagorean interval by this subchroma generally results in an Alpharabian interval- the only two known exceptions to this being 121/64 and 128/121, which differ from 243/128 and 256/243 respectively by this interval. | ||
