Equal temperament: History, Art, Regions & Measurement
Equal temperament is a musical temperament (tuning system) that divides the octave into 12 identical parts. It is a logarithmic scale with a ratio equal to the 12th root of 2 ( 2 12 {\textstyle {\sqrt{2}}} ≈ 1.05946). The scale unit is known as a semitone or half step.

Connections between topic areas Semantic bridges
Semantic bridges connect parts of the graph that would otherwise be more separate. A bridge is a structural signal in this analysis, not a claim that the two topic areas are equivalent.
For Equal temperament, one of the stronger structural bridges in this analysis connects Equal temperament with Overview. Bridges highlight paths between different parts of the map and can reveal research angles that are easy to miss in a flat list.
