“2. If these figures express units of string lengths, then Anu is,
with 60 units, the longest string, the bass note. Sin is one octave
below Ištar and one above Anu. The ratios of string lengths are thus
in reciprocal relation to the ratios of frequencies.
It seems appropriate at this point to introduce the musical cent
or centième since it is the most tangible unit of tonometry. The
conversion of ratios into musical cents consists in multiplying the
log to base 10 of the quotient of the division between the
denominator and numerator of the ratio by the constant 3986.314.
This method produces a scale composed of 1200 units in which
equal semitones measure 100 cents. Thus, 1/1 = 0 cents; 2/1= 1200
cents, the octave; 9/8 = 204 cents, the Pythagorean tone; 3/4 = 498,
the just fourth; 2/3 = 702, the just fifth, etc.
From this we see that the gods’ respective numbers are
contained in the span of the top octave. Anu, Enlil, Ea and Sin
provide with the tonal infrastructure for the Babylonian scale as
shown below:
SIN EA ENLIL ANU
0 498 884 1200
Fundamental Fourth Sixth Octave
Anu/Enlil 60/50 = 6/5 = 316 = just minor third
Enlil/Ea 50/40 = 5/4 = 386 = just major third
Ea/Sin 40/30 = 4/3 = 498 = just fourth
Sin/Šamaš 30/20 = 3/2 = 702 = just fifth
Šamaš/Bel 20/10 = 2/1 = 1200 = octave.”

“There’s a quiet, painful peace in finally accepting reality. You finally stop waiting for people to understand, to apologize, or to change. At first, it hurts, letting go of what you hoped they would be. But slowly, you realize peace doesn’t come from them. It comes from accepting reality as it is.”

““Mathematics isn’t just science, it is poetry—our efforts to crystallize the unglimpsed connections between things. Poetry that bridges and magnifies the mysteries of the galaxy. But the signs and symbols and equations sentients employ to express these connections are not discoveries but the teasing out of secrets that have always existed. All our theories belong to nature, not to us. As in music, every combination of notes and chords, every melody has already been played and sung, somewhere, by someone—””
