Since Atelier Robbin has sold out of their f160 generator and the replacement is anticipated to cost $1000, I made the decision to purchase their f155. The thing I didnt study carefully in making this decision is that the f155 only can produce frequencies up to 1.5Mhz or so. So here is my question for Dr. Sutherland:

To approximate the effect of a frequency above 1.5Mhz, what is your recommendation?

Here are some of my guesses:

-to divide the desired frequency by increasing integers until we get a number within the range of our generator
(So for example, if I was trying to produce the 3467055 frequency---one of the nanabacteria program, I could try dividing by 2 to get 1733527.5. But this is still out of range, so I might try dividing by 3 to get a number which my machine could generate.) ...Or perhaps this is wrong, perhaps we need only odd or even numbers (my understanding of harmonics is definitely limited!)

-take the "scalar octave". Based on Dr. Sutherland's posts I've decided that this means to divide the frequency by the number e raised to the 3rd power. I have no idea where this idea comes from, but somehow I suspect this to be a good guess. (My google search on scalar octave returned Dr. Sutherland's references to it in his f160 programs and then the rest seem to be related to a computer program called "Octave"--->no luck.)

Dr Sutherland, any internet resources you may know of to help explain what you mean by scalar octave would be awesome.

I'm going to try and run the nanobacteria program using scalar octaves of Dr. Sutherland's frequencies. We'll see if they create any subjective results :)
