Hi Professor Luigi: I forgot to mention that I
looked up that Plutarchus quote on the uneven cutting of 9/8. It's very
fascinating that the number 17 is tied to the death of Osiris at the end
of the Full Moon cycle - and "abominated" by the Pythagoreans. This
corroborates your claim for me especially considering that Plutarchus
describes the Pythagorean triangle as having the Osiris - Isis -
Horus/Set significance. And also I wanted to let you know that the
Daoist music tuning is directly tied to the lunar calendar - and starts
out based on the lunar "note." I give the details in my free book:

I can assure you that in Daoist meditation the energy is considered ten
times stronger three days before and after the full moon - and so it
completely makes sense that this would be a crucial connection as the
music infinite spiral is directly the meditation training.
All the best,

Hi
Professor Borzacchini: I added a couple more references
to your work -
thanks for your "personal communication." Also revised other areas -
quite a few changes.
I'll submit the article if the Society
for Scientific Exploration journal link ever works again. haha. It has
been reading in "error" the past couple days.
All the best,
drew
could
have been wrong in the details. The trouble with 17 could be connected not to
some geometrical construction, but to the role this number played in the
Pythagorean arithmetic, where it was called the 'obstacle', because it
"broke the proportion of 9/8 in not equal intervals" (Plutarchus
1962, De Iside et Osiride, 367 f).
