Yeah, but the idea of half == same is very specific to music. In no other domain do we do this.

- smilespray 6y agoHalf != same, and harmonics exist in plenty of other domains.
- garretraziel 6y agoYeah, I think that this is what people aren't getting in this thread. Octave clearly has a special connection to its base tone, but it's a little bit arbitrary that we consider these two to be THE SAME tones (that you can often replace one with the other). I believe that this is what is learned.
