Yet the harmonic entropy model claims that, for this level of s, you have a
rather low probability of hearing 9:11 as the 9th and 11th harmonics of a
fundamental -- the reason that it's comparitavely concordant seems to be
that the confusion is mainly restricted to a confusion between two ratios,
5:6 and 4:5, while, for example, 7:9 involves confusion with 4:5, 3:4, and
11:14; and 8:11 involves confusion with 3:4, 5:7, and 11:15.

Well I never consciously decided to make it private . . . I'll see if I can
change that . . .
