For each pair of superparticular ratios [math]\displaystyle{ {s1}/{s2} }[/math]​ and [math]\displaystyle{ {s2}/{s3} }[/math], there exists a ratio [math]\displaystyle{ {a}/{b} }[/math] such that [math]\displaystyle{ {s1}/{s2} }[/math]​ and [math]\displaystyle{ {s2}/{s3} }[/math]​ are [math]\displaystyle{ {a}/{b} }[/math] complementary; it is observed that [math]\displaystyle{ a−b=1 }[/math] or [math]\displaystyle{ a−b=2 }[/math]. In other words, for each ratio [math]\displaystyle{ a/b }[/math] where [math]\displaystyle{ a−b=1 }[/math] or [math]\displaystyle{ a−b=2 }[/math], there exists a pair of superparticular ratios [math]\displaystyle{ {s1}/{s2} }[/math]​ and [math]\displaystyle{ {s2}/{s3} }[/math] that are [math]\displaystyle{ {a}/{b} }[/math] complementary.

Bellow is a table that show for equal divisions of [math]\displaystyle{ a/b }[/math] the cent error in the mapping of superparticular ratios [math]\displaystyle{ {s1}/{s2} }[/math]​ and [math]\displaystyle{ {s2}/{s3} }[/math] that are [math]\displaystyle{ a/b }[/math] complementary.

We can observe a converging sequence and pattern for low errors: 5, 7, 12; then 7, 9, 16; then 9, 11, 20; then 11, 13, 24; then 13, 15, 28; then 15, 17, 32; then 17, 19, 36; then 19, 21, 40; then 21, 23, 44; etc. --
