Talk:0/0
Why?
User:PiotrGrochowski - This 0/0 expression really doesn't play much into current tuning theory. I don't even know how we would fit it in or what to write about it. If you have a thought about something to put here then feel free, but from the perspective of "incomplete pages," the current theory doesn't really have anything in it about 0/0.

- It's for completeness! PiotrGrochowski (talk) 17:16, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
- Is there anything you want to put on this page? If not, then I don't know whether we need this page, since we don't use it in the theory for anything. Mike Battaglia (talk) 17:56, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- We need it, though. It is the ratio between a note and a noise. It is important. PiotrGrochowski (talk) 18:13, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Does a frequency of 0 represent noise? If so, then 0/0 represents the ratio between noise and noise, but not a note and noise. If not, then 0/0 has nothing to do with the ratio between a note and noise. And even if 0/0 were to be assumed to represent the ratio between a note and noise, what can you do with it? If the answer is nothing, then this representation is trivial. --Bozu (talk) 18:35, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
- A frequency of 0 represents DC in terms of electrical signals or the halting of vibration in terms of mechanical systems (think of your car's engine turning at 0 rpm). Either is percieved as silence. Noise is the sum of all frequencies within a certain band. If the intensity is uniform across those frequencies, it is White noise. (Other named types include Brownian noise and Pink noise). As for 0/0, it is called an Indeterminate form because it can take on any value depending on how you use it: Say [math]\displaystyle{ x = 0 \div 0 }[/math]. This can be written as [math]\displaystyle{ 0 \times x = 0 }[/math]. Any value of [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] will satisfy this equation. (But, see also: Transreal arithmetic.) I don't believe 0/0 has any meaningful use in terms of tuning theory, but if it really has appeared in some literature (and apparently generated some confusion), it seems worthwhile to have a short article.
