Domain-specific

• Otonality and utonality
  • Otonality and utonality classify rational pitch collections by shared denominator or numerator relative to a fixed identity.
  • The entry records a descriptive analytical identity; practical use requires the governing domain's evidence, standards, and safety obligations.
• Superpartient Ratio
  • In modern tuning practice, especially just-intonation traditions, 5/3, 7/4, 8/5, 9/5, and related ratios may be described with historical superpartient terminology

    This sourcePartch's Genesis of a Music carries the older ratio vocabulary - superparticular and superpartient both occur in it - and its 43-tone scale contains 5/3, 7/4, 8/5 and 9/5. Partch's Genesis of a Music treats 7/4 as a scale degree in septimal terms; the name 'harmonic seventh' is not the book's own word for it.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 3 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
