Octaves subdivide on resonances, no doubt -- but that doesn't mean that western tempered tuning, which is your obvious referent, is the only physical expression of music. Mathematics is a language we use in order to speak with each other, but the mathematics doesn't define the music.

The finger pointing at the moon is not the moon. Music theory does not prescribe music, it describes it ... as any musician would know.

Looks deeper before you realize that you don't end up in the same place after going round once if you use pure intervals due to the pythagorean comma. A pity, really
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
