Hi Paul...

Thanks for the new ordering and the delicious new pizza slices. I'm
going to listen to the new ordering as soon as I get a chance...

Just "off the cuff" the pizza slices seem strange... with some huge
mountains seeming coming out of noplace... but it might help if I
study the materials a bit more...

Joseph

These mountains are the familiar, consonant triads, as I'm sure you'll see upon further
examination . . . the difference between the new pizzas and the original, "wavy" one is that, per
your suggestion, _any_ dissonant interval now impacts quite detrimentally on the triad's rating,
so each of the "ridges" corresponding to one of the intervals being consonant are now greatly
"flattened out" except at those points where the other intervals are consonant as well . . .
resulting in "mountains". pizza2 is fairly extreme in this respect, while pizza3 is sort of a
compromise between the other two pizzas . . .
