Wait... Do the lenghs of the radial lines in this picture correspond to anything??? And why does the first G have a much lower frequency given? It's not even an octave down from the actual frequency. Oh and the angles?
Looks completely made up

Apparently, he's interested in the relationship between music and metric paper sizes?

But I think it's more likely, since he's into this sort of numerology, that he's interested in the Golden Ratio, Phi = 1.61803398875, true for a number pair when [Image: ae3b3b7396a2c3d7341d964b86ba0eb8.png]:

To be fair, this IS the kind of thing that modern musicians take seriously: songs have been written using the Golden Ratio to divide parts.

HOWEVER, given C= 252hz, I'd expect a note at 252*1.6180339887498948482 = about 408 Hz. There is clearly no such value in the chart, though the erroneous "G" looks like it could be a true perfect 5th: 252*1.5 = 378Hz. It currently escapes me why someone would use a Golden Ratio diagram to represent the cycle of 5ths, with numbers that match neither. Pretty picture, though.
