      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.

          it makes more sense aurally. Without the 8th note of the scale there's no resolution. It's also physics. End on 2:1 ratio

          As a computing scientist you get used to count the 0 anyways

          right, but in this case the count goes from 1 to 7. She's absolutely right, and now I can't unsee it.

          Replying to @jhamby @Luiz0x29A and

          the only way you get 8 notes is by including the same note from two adjacent octaves. It overlaps by 1.

          The equal-tempered scale is kind of a hack. Chords aren't perfectly tuned, but you can play chords in any key. 12 tones, with no overlap.

          If you put twelve dots equidistantly on a circle, and also score 7 equidistant notches so that one of them coincides with one of the dots...

          ...then pick the dots closest to the notches, you'll get the same distance structure as in the major scale. Ditto for 5 and pentatonic
