Great stuff, indeed. That's everything I've ever suspected, and more. -Carl

I don't have that paper. I got it from equation 1.1 in Aytan Agmon's
1996 one. He says in Note 17 "In theorems 1.2 and 1.5 Clough and
Douthett establish that 'being a J-set' (Definition 1.9) is equivalent
to 'having the property that the spectrum of each dlen is either a
single integer or two consecutive integers' (Definition 1.7). Thus
Clough and Douthett's 'maximal evenness' ... and the present relation
(1.1) are the same ..."

From: Gene Ward Smith If x is a positive real number representing an interval, it's suggested that Pc(x) = exp((log(p/q)-x)^2/2c)) can model the probability that x is heard as p/q; here c is a parameter. If we take the sum sum q^(-d) Pc(x) over positive rationals p/q, then it isn't hard to see that this converges absolutely for high enough values of d--anything above 2, at any rate. A problem with this is that it mixes multiplicative and implicitly additive distance measures, since |log(p/q)-x| is multiplicative, while q does not depend on the octave and, like the Farey sequence, is implicitly additive.

I think maybe the plan should be to get a continuous function the
Tenney Height way, by
sum_{p/q > 0} Pc(x, p/q)/(p*q)

what do you mean? look again. the schismic line has a 17 on it as close to the ji center as the 17 on the meantone line!

I don't see any weird coincidences; however, here is C(n, 6) for n from 7 to 60: 7 7 8 2^2 * 7 9 2^2 * 3 * 7 10 2 * 3 * 5 * 7 11 2 * 3 * 7 * 11 12 2^2 * 3 * 7 * 11 13 2^2 * 3 * 11 * 13 14 3 * 7 * 11 * 13 15 5 * 7 * 11 * 13 16 2^3 * 7 * 11 * 13 17 2^3 * 7 * 13 * 17 18 2^2 * 3 * 7 * 13 * 17 19 2^2 * 3 * 7 * 17 * 19 20 2^3 * 3 * 5 * 17 * 19 21 2^3 * 3 * 7 * 17 * 19 22 3 * 7 * 11 * 17 * 19 23 3 * 7 * 11 * 19 * 23 24 2^2 * 7 * 11 * 19 * 23 25 2^2 * 5^2 * 7 * 11 * 23 26 2 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 13 * 23 27 2 * 3^2 * 5 * 11 * 13 * 23 28 2^2 * 3^2 * 5 * 7 * 13 * 23 29 2^2 * 3^2 * 5 * 7 * 13 * 29 30 3^2 * 5^2 * 7 * 13 * 29 31 3^2 * 7 * 13 * 29 * 31 32 2^4 * 3^2 * 7 * 29 * 31 33 2^4 * 7 * 11 * 29 * 31 34 2^3 * 11 * 17 * 29 * 31 35 2^3 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 17 * 31 36 2^4 * 3 * 7 * 11 * 17 * 31 37 2^4 * 3 * 7 * 11 * 17 * 37 38 3 * 7 * 11 * 17 * 19 * 37 39 3 * 7 * 13 * 17 * 19 * 37 40 2^2 * 3 * 5 * 7 * 13 * 19 * 37 41 2^2 * 3 * 13 * 19 * 37 * 41 42 2 * 7 * 13 * 19 * 37 * 41 43 2 * 7 * 13 * 19 * 41 * 43 44 2^2 * 7 * 11 * 13 * 41 * 43 45 2^2 * 3 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 41 * 43 46 3 * 7 * 11 * 23 * 41 * 43 47 3 * 7 * 11 * 23 * 43 * 47 48 2^3 * 3 * 11 * 23 * 43 * 47 49 2^3 * 3 * 7^2 * 11 * 23 * 47 50 2^2 * 3 * 5^2 * 7^2 * 23 * 47 51 2^2 * 5 * 7^2 * 17 * 23 * 47 52 2^3 * 5 * 7^2 * 13 * 17 * 47 53 2^3 * 5 * 7^2 * 13 * 17 * 53 54 3^2 * 5 * 7^2 * 13 * 17 * 53 55 3^2 * 5^2 * 11 * 13 * 17 * 53 56 2^2 * 3^2 * 7 * 11 * 13 * 17 * 53 57 2^2 * 3^2 * 7 * 11 * 13 * 19 * 53 58 2 * 3^2 * 7 * 11 * 19 * 29 * 53 59 2 * 3^2 * 7 * 11 * 19 * 29 * 59 60 2^2 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 19 * 29 * 59

The diagram appears at different scales here: Definitions of tuning terms: equal temperament... * [with cont.] (Wayb.) These are not "taxicab" diagrams. I'm don't know of any cute name for them. Maybe Paul E. would care to coin one. -Carl

I've taught this stuff too many times to be able to see C(n, m) in more than one way. :) Evidently, you have another function you want computed.

a taxicab diagram? why do you call it that? you should be looking at Definitions of tuning terms: equal temperament... * [with cont.] (Wayb.) . . . zoom in, zoom out . . .

Why are you summing? Presumably to get harmonic entropy for x, which is the entropy of the distribution of probabilities for all p/q. Does the q^(-d) term do that, and if so, how?

Um, not clear how this could possibly work. Paul empirically verified that p*q approximates the "width" (and also the entropy?) for x. Where I'm totally at a loss for how to define "width". Anyway, goal number 1 is to do extend things to triads and up. Where I think p*q*r is supposed tell you something about the space around triads on a 2-D plot... or something. It's been a long time... -Carl

what's the coincidence? any two ets will be collinear along some line, whether the particular line connecting them is special enough to merit inclusion on the chart or not -- and quite a few did. any two ets define a 5-limit linear temperament (represented by a line in the diagram).

I've replace the q^(-d) with (pq)^(-d), and I think taking d=1 is fine. The weighting gives more weight to the better consonances, and it makes the series converge to a continuous function. What values of c have mostly been used? A graph would be nice.

I'm not clear why it wouldn't work.

You could take a similar sum over all p:q:r:
F(x) = sum_{p:q:r reduced} 1/(pqr) (Pc(x, p/q)+Pc(x, p/r)+Pc(x,r/q))
