I disagree. This is just my opinion, but 15/8 and 5/3 are both a third from
a fifth, and are the same distance from 1/1 (along with 16/15 and 6/5).
Consider the chords - maj7 and 6. They certaintly have different flavors,
but one is not more dissonant than the other. Besides, I designed my system
not to be so much a measure of consonance as a measure of how much
modulation one would need to do to "get there".

Stay Tuned,
