pulse lattice

pitch ratios are rhythm ratios. the fifth's node sounds a 3∶2 and pulses three times to the root's once · pitch folds the octaves away, rhythm keeps them. click any node to activate it. the lattice is the same object in both domains.

→ pulse × 3  (perfect fifth, 3∶2) ↑ pulse × 5  (major third, 5∶4)

the corners leave the range of rhythm: at 60 bpm the top-right node pulses 45 times a second, too fast to count, so it is heard as a 45 Hz buzz · the bottom-left pulses once every 45 beats
