In harmony, the tonus is the ratio 9:8 between a pair of frequencies or, equivalently, the ratio 8:9 between a pair of wavelengths. It is the arithmetic mean of unison and ditono: Harmony is the use and study of pitch simultaneity and chords, actual or implied, in music. ...
In mathematics and statistics, the arithmetic mean of a set of numbers is the sum of all the members of the set divided by the number of items in the set. ...

In harmony, the ditonus (Latin for double tone — plural ditoni) is the ratio 5:4 (sesquiquartum) between a pair of frequencies or, equivalently, the ratio 4:5 between a pair of wavelengths. ...
It is equal to diapente divided by diatessaron: In harmony, diapente is the ratio 3:2 (sesquialterum) between a pair of frequencies or, equivalently, the ratio 2:3 between a pair of wavelengths. ...
See diatessaron (interval) for the musical term. ...
This means that a diapente is equal to a diatessaron and a tonus, put together.
The tonus is 1.001 in binary — 1 + 2−3 — and it is the inversion of the eptadem minus (minor seventh) (16:9), The musical interval of a minor seventh the first note (the root or tonic) and the seventh in a minor scale. ...
Notice also that the eptadem minus is a pair of diatessarons put together: The eptadem minus is the sum of the first eight reciprocals of triangular numbers: The tonus is also called major second. The musical interval of a major second — also called a whole-tone — is the relationship between the first note (the root or tonic) and the second note in a major scale (and also a minor scale). ...
Major and Minor The tonus comes in two slightly different versions: the tuono maggiore (9:8) and the tuono minore (10:9).
The tuono minore is the harmonic mean of unison and ditono: In mathematics, the harmonic mean is one of several methods of calculating an average. ...
In binary, the tuono minore is equal to 1.000111000111000111000111...
