Locking in - Try another paradigm

Since you seem to be having trouble identifying integer frequency ratios
to map your "locking in".
May I suggest that you map it against a different background.
You'll find all the details of the system which I use at
http://www.harmonics.com/lucy/
Look at the FAQ.

I looked at the FAQ and elsewhere throughout your website but couldn't find
anything that might be helpful in explaining the experience of locking in.
Your system seems to be one in which the pitches of a scale are fixed, so,
for example, you would use the same pitch for the root of the IV chord as
for the seventh of the V chord. You also seem to claim that your is some
sort of natural, or universal, system. I don't remember what term you used,
but it was clear to me that you don't think of your system as some sort of
compromise, as I think you would consider 12tET. Yet I couldn't find any
explanation of why you choose your small and large scale steps the way you
do. I understand that they are related to the number pi, but what does that
have to do with melody and harmony?

Please tell me whether my description of your system is correct, and direct
me to the appropriate place for the explanations. And if you would explain
how your system explains the experience of locking in, that would be great.
