You are invited to join my new group.  This is a music theory cite created for the narrow purpose of discussing the only music theory I understand, my own stuff. I’ve come up with a definition of consonance and a way to measure consonance. If you are deep into the study of just intonation and you like to scratch and think you will get a lot out of this cite. My material is all original and copyrighted. I would be very interested in knowing whether or not it is a published first. I can’t imagine that it is a literal first in terms of who did it first. I know it was done before. It is a re-creation of the wheel, so to speak.

Well, you can compare the consonance of one chord with another chord!  The starting point is to have a definition of consonance in the first place.  I rather doubt that you will be able to do that elsewhere. 
 
Hi Joseph,
I am sure people out here like to reinvent wheels if the wheel has new
features, like goes less bumpety bump, or is in other ways connected to
roundness or un-squareness. What would be fair in a way to find out more
about would be an address where people like me can check it out. Thanks.
Gotthard

apple=5.6!

orange=4.9!

Elbow=3.44447!

Hole in the ground=2.1

It's all becoming clear, now.

There *is* a definition of consonance within the strict confines of just-in-tuned chords, but it doesn't give you something rankable or quantifiable, IMNSHO.

Not to mention that the whole thing completely blows up when you have passing tones, bent notes, side-slipping, all the good stuff we call:

Music.
