I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

The math still makes my head spin, but I was just griping about a post that's going around that approximates the hell out of the overtone series to make it seem like the 12 note octave (as we know it) is perfectly and cosmically justified.

@@BlakleyBassoon The 17 18 and 19th (and 3rd / 24) harmonics and maybe the 5th or 27th are pretty close. But do get a full diatonic scale from the overtone series, you need the 16 notes from 16-32.
If you take the harmonics 8-16 and their inversions you can get something like that too
Or you can stack the 3rd harmonic
We can really always find a way to make something approximate something if we want to make it work. The diversity in the different approaches and their sounds is really beautiful though
