Just intonation is any scheme of musical tuning in which the frequencies of notes are related by whole number ratios. Any interval tuned in this way is called a just interval. Another way of considering just intonation is as being based on members of the harmonic series. Thus, although in theory two notes tuned in the frequency ratio 1024:927 might be said to be justly tuned, in practice only ratios using quite small numbers tend to be called just. Intervals used are then usually more consonant, but consonance is not always emphasized or a goal in music written with just intonation.
A number of composers have written music in just intonation without attempting to approximate the chromatic scale. They often impose a limit on how complex the ratios they use are: for example, a composer may write in "7-limit JI", meaning that no prime number larger than 7 features in the ratios they use. Under this scheme, the ratio 10:7, for example, would be permitted, but 11:7 would not be, as all non-prime numbers are octaves of, or mathematically and tonally related to, lower primes (example: 12 is an octave of 6, while 9 is a multiple of 3).
Many composers have written in just intonation, including Glenn Branca, Arnold Dreyblatt, Kyle Gann, Lou Harrison, Ben Johnston, Harry Partch, Terry Riley, LaMonte Young, James Tenney, and Pauline Oliveros.
It is possible to tune the diatonic scale or chromatic scale in just intonation. Many other justly tuned scales have also been used.
The diatonic scale in just intonation
The prominent notes of a given scale are tuned so that the ratios of their frequencies are comprised of relatively small integers. For example, in the key of F major, the ratio of the frequencies of the notes F:C is 2:3, while that of F:Bb is 3:4.
All ratios that involve the prime numbers of 2, 3 and 5 can be built out of the following 3 basic intervals:
from which we get:
- s=16/15 Semitone
- t=10/9 Minor Tone
- T=9/8 Major Tone
It gives rise to scale of key F:
- 6/5 = Ts
- 5/4 = Tt
- 4/3 = Tts
- 3/2 = TTts
- 2/1 = TTTttss
F G A BbC D E F T t s T t T swith ratios w.r.t. F of
G 9/8, A 5/4, Bb 4/3, C 3/2 D 5/3, E 15/8 and F 2/1Why isn't just intonation used much?
It's because for many instruments, you can't change the key of your scale without retuning your instrument. Also the above scale allows a minor tone to occur next to a semitone. This produces the awkward ratio 32/27 for Bb/G, so one needs to avoid such a combination of notes. Such an interval is called a wolf interval. (You can have more frets on a guitar to handle both G's, 9/8 with F and 10/9 with F so that Bb/G will become 6/5 while C-G is still 3/2)
If the value of the major and minor tones are adjusted so that they are both equal, one gets a meantone temperament. If in addition the semitone is altered so that an interval of two semitones is equal to one tone, you get the 12 notes used in modern Western music (see equal temperament), which allows one to travel through twelve equally consonant and dissonant keys.

Justice is a concept involving the fair and moral treatment of all persons, especially as regards social rules. It is often seen as the continued effort to do what is "right".
Classically, justice was the ability to recognise one's debts and pay them. It was a virtue that encompassed an unwillingness to lie or steal. It was the basis for the code duello. In this view, justice is the opposite of the vice of venality.
In jurisprudence, justice is the obligation that the legal system has toward the individual citizen and the society as a whole.
Justice (in both senses) is part of the debate regarding moral relativism and moral absolutism: Is there an "absolute standard" of justice, under which all behavior should be judged, or is acceptable for justice to have different meanings in different societies? Some cultures, for instance, see punishments such as the death penalty as being appropriate, whilst others decry such acts as crimes against humanity.

Justice is also the title used by the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States. The court is composed of the Chief Justice of the United States, and eight Associate Justices.
Justice is the English name of the Greek goddess Themis, or the Roman goddess Justitia.

Justinian I, Byzantine emperor (AD 527-565), born Petrus Sabbatius (483 - 565).
Justinian I was born in a small village called Tauresina (Taor) in Illyricum (near Skopje), in the Balkan peninsula, probably on May 11, 483. His mother, Vigilantia, was the sister of the highly esteemed General Justin, who rose from the ranks of the army to become emperor, adopted Justinian as his son and ensured that he was educated. He completed the usual course of education, occupying himself with jurisprudence and philosophy. Justinian's military career was one of rapid advancement, and a great future was opened up for him when, in 518, Justin became emperor. Consul in 521, later in command of the army of the east, he was virtual regent long before Justin made him associate emperor on April 1, 527.
Justinian I, depicted on a
contemporary coin
enlarged imageFour months later he became the sole sovereign. His administration was of world-wide moment, constituting a distinct epoch in the history of the Byzantine Empire and the Orthodox Church. He was a man of unusual capacity for work, temperate, affable, lively; but also unscrupulous, and crafty. He was the last emperor to attempt to restore the Roman Empire to the territories it enjoyed under Theodosius I. To this end were his great wars and his colossal activity in building directed. Starting from the premise that the existence of a commonwealth rested upon arms and laws, he paid particular attention to legislation, and wrought a lasting memorial for himself by codifying the Roman law (the Codex Justinianus and the Novellae Constitutiones).
In 523 he married Theodora, a former actress. Actresses were socially akin to prostitutes prior to the reign of Justin I, and Justinian would in earlier times been unable to marry her. Justin had passed a law allowing intermarriage between social classes, which, during Justinian's reign, led to a blurring of class distinctions at the Byzantine court. Theodora would become very influential in the politics of the Empire, and later emperors would follow Justinian's precedent and marry outside of the aristocratic class.
Procopius is our primary source for the history of Justinian's reign, although the chronicle of John of Ephesus (which survives as the basis for many later chronicles) contributes many valuable details. Both historians became very bitter towards Justinian and Theodora. Aside from his main history Procopius also wrote the Secret History, which reports on various scandals at Justinian's court.
Theodora died in 548; Justinian outlived her for almost 20 years, and died on November 14 or 15, 565.
Legal Activities
One of the Justinian's greatest accomplishments is his judicial revolution which organised Roman law in a form and organic scheme that is still in use today and remains more or less unaltered in some countries today (apart from obvious adaptations). The first draft of the Corpus Juris Civilis was issued on April 7, 529 in three parts: Digesto (or Pandectae), Institutiones, and the Codex. The Corpus was drafted by a group of commissioners headed by the quaestor Tribonian, and was written in Latin, the traditional language of the Roman Empire which was now poorly understood by most citizens of the Eastern Empire. The Corpus was later supplimented by the Authenticum or Novellae Constitutiones, a collection of new laws issued during Justinian's reign. The Novellae were written in Greek, the common language of the Empire.The Corpus is the basis of latin jurisprudence (including ecclesiastical Canon law: ecclesia vivit lege romana) and a unique document about the life in the remains of the Roman Empire at the time. It is a collection that gathers the many sources in which the leges (laws) and the other rules were expressed or published: proper laws, senatorial consults (senatusconsulta), imperial decrees, case law, and jurists' opinions and interpretations (responsa prudentum ).
Military activites
Like his Roman predecessors and Byzantine successors, Justinian was frequently engaged in war against Persia. However, his military ambitions were focused on the western Mediterranean, where his general Belisarius reconquered much of the territory of the old Roman Empire. Belisarius was rewarded with this task after successfully putting down the Nika riots in Constantinople in January of 532, in which chariot racing fanatics had forced Justinian to dismiss the unpopular Tribonian, and had then attempted to overthrow Justinian himself. Justinian considered fleeing the capital, but remained in the city on the advice of Theodora, and Belisarius arrived to crush the rebellion a few days later. In 533 Belisarius reconquered North Africa from the Vandals after the Battle of Ad Decimum, near Carthage. Belisarius then advanced into Sicily and Italy, recapturing Rome (536) and the Ostrogoth capital at Ravenna (540).Belisarius disagreed with Justinian over what to do with the reconquered land; Justinian wanted to let the Ostrogoths rule a tributary state, but Belisarius disagreed, wanting to make Italy an Imperial Roman territory. Justinian sent Belisarius was sent to the East to defend against renewed attacks by the Persians. A new peace was established in the East in 545, and Belisarius returned to Italy, but the Ostrogoths had recaptured Rome in his absence. Belisarius was replaced with the eunuch general Narses, and the historian Procopius, a former officer in Belisarius' army, accused the general of treason. He was briefly imprisoned, but Justinian later pardoned him and he defeated the Bulgars when they appeared on the Danube for the first time in 559. In 551, part of southern Spain was conquered from the Ostrogoths. Narses failed to defend Italy against either the Ostrogoths or the Lombards. Nevertheless, under Justinian, the empire's territory expanded greatly, if only for a short time.
The like despotism appeared also in the emperor's ecclesiastical policy. He regulated everything, both in religion and in law.
Justinian I depicted on a Byzantine mosaic At the very beginning of his reign, he deemed it proper to promulgate by law his belief in the Trinity and the Incarnation; and to threaten all heretics with the becoming penalties (Cod., I., i. 5); whereas he subsequently declared that he designed to deprive all disturbers of orthodoxy of the opportunity for such offense by due process of law (MPG, lxxxvi. 1, p. 993). He made the Nicaeno-Constantinopolitan creed the sole symbol of the Church (Cod., I., i. 7), and accorded legal force to the canons of the four ecumenical councils (Novellae, cxxxi.). The bishops in attendance at the Synod of Constantinople in 536 recognized that nothing could be done in the Church contrary to the emperor's will and command (Mansi, Concilia, viii. 970B); while, on his side, the emperor, in the case of the Patriarch Anthimus, reinforced the ban of the Church with temporal proscription (Novellae, xlii.). Bishops without number had to feel the tyrant's wrath. On the other hand, it is true, he neglected no opportunity for securing the rights of the Church and clergy, for protecting and extending monasticism.
Indeed, were not the despotic character of his measures so glaring, one might be tempted to call him a father of the Church. Both the Codex and the Novellae contain many enactments regarding donations, foundations, and administration of ecclesiastical property; election and rights of bishops, priests and abbots; monastic life, residential obligations of the clergy, conduct of divine service, episcopal jurisdiction, etc. He was also responsible for rebuilding the Church of Hagia Sophia, the original site having been destroyed during the Nika riots. The new Hagia Sophia, with its numerous chapels and shrines, gilded octagonal dome, and mosaics, became the centre and most visible monument of Eastern Orthodoxy in Constantinople.
Relations with Rome
From the middle of the fifth century onward increasingly arduous tasks confronted the emperors of the East in the province of ecclesiastical polity. For one thing, the radicals on all sides felt themselves constantly repelled by the creed which had been adopted by the Council of Chalcedon with the design of mediating between the dogmatic parties. The letter of Pope Leo I to Flavian of Constantinople was widely considered in the East, to be the work of Satan; so that, here such was the case, nobody cared to hear aught of the Church of Rome. The emperors, however, had to wrestle with a twofold problem. In the first place, the unity between East and West, between Byzantium and Rome, was to be preserved; and this was possible only if they swerved not from the line defined at Chalcedon. In the next place, the factions in the East which had been stirred up and disaffected on account of Chalcedon must be restrained and pacified. This problem was the more difficult because the dissenting groups in the East excelled the party for Chalcedon in the East both in numerical strength and in intellectual ability; and so the course of events showed the two aims to be incompatible: whoever chose Rome and the West most renounce the East, and vice versa.Justinian entered the arena of ecclesiastical statecraft shortly after his uncle's accession in 518, and put an end to the Monophysite schism that had prevailed between Rome and Byzantium since 483. The recognition of the Roman see as the highest ecclesiastical authority (cf. Novellae, cxxxi.) remained the cornerstone of his policy in relation to the West, although he thus grievously offended those of the East, and though he felt himself entirely free to show a despotic front toward the pope (witness his behavior toward Silverius and Vigilius). But the controversies in the East were alone sufficient to keep the emperor busy all through his reign; and he plainly paid much more attention to them than to the external affairs of the realm. Yet his policy bore marks of greatness, and strove with large understanding to satisfy the religious instincts of the devout in the East, a signal proof of which was his attitude in the Theopaschite controversy. At the outset he was of the opinion that the question turned on a quibble of words. By degrees, however, he came to understand that the formula at issue was not only orthodox, but might also be used as a conciliatory measure toward the Monophysites, and made a vain attempt to do this in the religious conference with the followers of Severus of Antioch, in 533.
Again, he reviewed the same approvingly in the religious edict of March 15, 533 (Cod., L, i. 6), and congratulated himself that Pope John II admitted the orthodoxy of the imperial confession (Cod., I., i. 8). The serious blunder that he had made at the beginning by abetting after Justin's accession a severe persecution of the Monophysite bishops and monks and thereby embittering the population of vast regions and provinces, he remedied eventually. His constant aim now was to win the Monophysites, yet not to surrender the Chalcedonian faith. For many at court, he did not go far enough: Theodora especially would have been glad to see the Monophysites favored unreservedly. Justinian, however, was restrained in that policy by the complications that would have ensued with the West. Neither, for that matter, could he escape these issues; for instance, the Three Chapter Controversy (see also Pope Vigilius). In the condemnation of the Three Chapters Justinian tried to satisfy both the East and the West, but succeeded in satisfying neither. Although the pope assented to the condemnation, the West believed that the emperor was acting contrary to the decrees of Chalcedon; and though many delegates were found in the East subservient to Justinian, yet there were many, especially the Monophysites, left unsatisfied. So the emperor's efforts were wasted on an impossible task; the more bitter for him because during his last years he took greater interest in theological matters.
Religious Writings
It can not be doubted that Justinian also took an actual, personal hand in the theological manifestoes which he put forth as emperor; although, in view of the author's exalted position, it is a difficult matter to ascertain whether the documents current under his name are the direct product of his pen. Apart from letters to the Popes Hormisdas, John II, Agapetus I, and Vigilius, and sundry other compositions (collected in MPL, lxiii., lxvi. and lxix.), the following documents may be noted (all to be found in MPG, lxxxvi. 1, pp. 945-1152):The theology upheld in these writings agreed, in general, with that of Leontius of Byzantium; that is, it aims at the final solution of the problem by interpreting the Chalcedonian symbol in terms of the theology of Cyril of Alexandria. Two points are worth noting in this connection. First, the clever way in which the emperor, or his representative, contrives to defend the reputation and the theology of Cyril; secondly, his antagonism to Origen: a clear sign of the characteristic disinclination of that age for independent thinking; at least among personages of weight and influence.
- the edict on Origen's heterodoxies, in 543 or 544;
- summons to the bishops assembled at Constantinople on occasion of the council of 553, with reference to their sitting in judgment on errors in circulation among the monastic followers of Origen at Jerusalem;
- an edict on the Three Chapters, probably framed in 551;
- an address to the council of 553, concerning the Antiochian theology;
- a document probably antedating 550, addressed to some unnamed defenders (perhaps Scythians) of the Three Chapters;
- writ of excommunication against Anthimus, Severus and companions;
- an address to some Egyptian monks, with a refutation of Monophysite errors;
- fragment of a document, mentioned in (7), to the Patriarch Zoilus of Alexandria.
A word or two should be subjoined on the subject of Aphthartodocetism; a doctrine professed by the emperor toward the close of his life. Evagrius reports (Hist. eccl., iv. 39), and other sources confirm the point, that Justinian promulgated an edict in which he declared Christ's body to be incorruptible and not susceptible to natural suffering, and commanded bishops everywhere to accept this doctrine. The fall of the Patriarch Eutychius is associated with this final phase of the imperial policy. The sources saw a lamentable decline from the right faith in Justinian's latter conduct. The train of thought underlying Aphthartodocetism, however, is not necessarily unorthodox (see Julian of Halicarnassus); because it need not be opposed to the acceptance of the essential identity of Christ's nature with human nature. Hence it is not necessary to regard Justinian's final theological views as those of an old man, to be disregarded in surveying the aims of his full-bodied activity.

He said: "My judgment I suspend." Down died the winds; the leaf, elate, Cried: "I've decided to fall straight." "First thoughts are best?" That's not the moral; Just choose your own and we'll not quarrel. Howe'er your choice may chance to fall, You'll have no hand in it at all. G.J. |
