Description: Dissonance may be explained as the uncertainty in determining a pitch caused by the relative closeness of complex ratios and distance around simple ratios. The space around intervals (the difference between the upper and lower median) is charted above for the Farey sequence, order 50, showing that simple ratio intervals have a greater distance around them than complex ratios. See: en:harmonic entropy.
