Ok, I'll get started tonight. ;-)

Well, the diagram forms some obvious patterns. If you extend the diagonal
up and to the left of 4:5:6 you get triad with increasing sizes of
lower/middle interval, with a static lower to upper. And vise versa
extending down and to the right. Not to earth shattering as far as
observations.

Perhaps it can lend some clues to patterns of chord resolution ala Partch's
3 observations.

How else might they be used? I guess I don't know enuf about tuning theory
to know where to begin, or even to know what questions to ask. Hence, I was
looking to you for ideas.
