i thought i read that at one point.
i guess in that case what your saying would just be that there are divisibles of 8 anyway, but im just saying.

I was thinking more about the harmonic series of a string as seen below
These are the 7 different notes we know, determined by the wavelenght of a pitch, each consecutive having half the wavelenght of the previous one.
You can only go 8 steps up and you end up having the same-sounding note with double the wavelenght (and higher pitch) of it's predecessor from the lower octave.
higherthanamile however widened my understanding of the very complicated part of physic science that made me understand this is only the way we are trying to measure the amplitudes of a soundwave. We could've theoretically invented some other measuring systems that would give us a scale of ___insert any nr here___ notes to build our musical instruments after.
