xenharmonic bridge
a very small interval which allows for a fluidity
of rational interpretation when listening to music, by
blurring the distinctions between intervals with different
prime or odd
factors. Known in Fokker's theory
as unison vector.
[Paul Erlich has pointed out that my concept of 'bridges' refers
specifically to the kinds of prime-factors and not
the numbers of prime-factors, which is what Fokker
described with the periodicity block and unison vector concept.]
