This observation, which took years to unearth and
systematize, I demonstrate in full detail (in Table 31
of _Musical Mathematics: A Practice in the
Mathematics of Tuning Instruments and Analyzing
Scales_) with interval ratios and frequency ratios as
found in the works of Ptolemy, Al-Farabi, and Ibn
Sina.
