In classical geometry, the bisection is a simple compass and straightedge construction, whose possibility depends on the ability to draw arcs of equal radii and different centers: The segment is bisected by drawing intersecting circles of equal radius , whose centers are the endpoints of the segment. The line determined by the points of ...
Bisector (music) Octatonic scale produced by a chain or circle of bisectors. For comparison, the chromatic scale produced by an aliquant bisector or generator, the perfect fifth, creating a circle of fifths. In diatonic set theory, a bisector divides the octave approximately in half (the equal tempered tritone is exactly half the octave) and ...
