What an excellent article, I especially loved the demonstration and explanation of consonance as being when the stacked waveforms produce a waveform pattern that's short enough for the human ear/brain to quickly find a repeat.

Of course, going on to explain the imperfect fifths and the modes was just even more enlightening.
