*Links between the Riemann zeta function and consonance. | *Links between the Riemann zeta function and consonance. | ||
*Various regular temperaments and the equal temperaments supporting them. | *Various regular temperaments and the equal temperaments supporting them. (The appendix gives proofs that the algorithms she uses work; however she didn't have the modern algebraic language to describe what in effect she was doing, making the treatment mathematically less clean than it could have been). | ||
**She describes a temperament as a span of unison vectors/commas (Note: The commas generate the kernel characterizing a regular temperament relative to the JI space. There are multiple valid generating sets that generate the same kernel, thus multiple comma-sets that characterizes a temperament.) | **She describes a temperament as a span of unison vectors/commas (Note: The commas generate the kernel characterizing a regular temperament relative to the JI space.
