In which my younger daughter teaches me musical time (And I keep thinking 2×3 equals 3×2 = 6. Or is it 1/2-1/3 = 1/6?)pic.twitter.com/o0Qv0lRsg0

Thanks – I will ask my daughter to explain this to me. So it’s not a matter of putting a fraction in lowest terms? (I know nothing about music, sorry!)

An analogy between musical and poetic rhythm may help. 6/8 and 3/4 both refer to rhythms in which each "line" of a musical "poem" has six "syllables." But in the former case, the the stress is as in "elegant discipline," whereas in the latter, it's as in "nothing really matters."
