Steve, some instruments like keyboards just cannot be played in one third tones or one fourth-tones, whereas Indian music as you know makes wide use of microtones. There are techniques by which sax players can play microtones, on my digital  piano I cannot though!!

I want to give Berg the benefit of doubt. In academia, sometimes people act puffed up because they want to declare thei rown intellectual property over a subject. Benoit Mandelbrot, who codified the mathematics of fractals, in his seminal book constantly used 'I', 'my', 'mine'. The same goes for Sthepen Wolfram when he speaks about cellular automata.

As far as Ophiucus goes, it is not too clear to me. I understood that Ophiucus dominates the ecliptical circle in one interval, whereas Scorpio dominates it in a shorter interval. Your illustration would tend to show otherwise. Who's right? I know that there are arguments between western and sidereal astrologists.
