Harmonic Monochord Ratios & Epigraphy
The acoustic foundations of Pythagorean number theory derived from string division ratios:
Unison (Fundamental)
Whole string · The Monad / Undivided Unity
Octave (Diapason)
Half string · The Dyad / Doubling of pitch
Fifth (Diapente)
Two-thirds length · The Triad / Consonant harmony
Fourth (Diatessaron)
Three-quarters length · The Tetrad / Acoustic boundary
And indeed all things that are known have number; for it is not possible that anything could be either comprehended or known without this.— Philolaus of Croton, Fragment B4 (c. 470–385 BCE)
Tier B (Historical Evidence): Early Pythagorean harmonic ratios (Philolaus DK 44 B4) and Neopythagorean decad theology (Nicomachus, Pseudo-Iamblichus). Tier E (Modern Synthesis): 20th-century Life Path reduction & Master Numbers (Florence Campbell 1931).
