        music is basically base 8 math except for the way that math was made up all over again 😱💥

        thing I don't get about base 8 is there are 7 things, and 5 things, and that makes 12 things, but none of those are 8 things.

        it's 8 things only if you count the base element for the next scale, too. But then you have overlap and that's uncanny

        I forgot to mention base 8 was also invented slightly differently.

        actually two octaves would have 3 Cs 👏

        All the other intervals too. Fourth + fifth = octave. Octave + octave = fifteenth. Musicians: "This is fine."

        It's counting fenceposts rather than fences. Another weird 1-indexed language.

        If you think of an octave as an interval, instead of a range, it makes a bit more sense. Like a 24 hour "day" interval.

        No, that's how it's broken. We don't call a time interval from 2:00 to 3:00 "2 hours" nor is a day a "25ve"

        naming problems, off by one errors... is music theory secretly the same as computer science?
