>Query 1: Are Relative Harmonic Entropy, Sonance, and Cordance equivalent?
The last two Words(?) were invented by Monzo. Sonance is not equivalence to cordance, because sonance is dependent on musical context and perhaps even conventions. Cordance does seem qualitatively similar to harmonic entropy; although roughness seems to be, in addition to harmonic entropy, a component of cordance.

Though arbitrary, the vertical axis ranges from 4.29 to 6.08 in the 0.6% case. If you think it would be worth my while, I will repost the graphs with tick marks and numbers to the left of the vertical axis, and if you wish, a grid of parallel horizontal lines across the graph.
>Query 3: Now, I find myself intensely interested in the the RHE of the >following:
For the following, I will assume that by 'Relative' you mean relative to the harmonic entropy of the unison, and that for the scales in (i), (ii), and (iii), you mean to play a continuous drone at a pitch of 0 cents. Fine means s=.006%, ordinary means s=.012%.
(i) 22-shruti gamut
I'm assuming a range from -550 to 1950 cents against the single drone pitch at 0 cents.
(vii) The various "jumps" using which a raga is imporvised.
They should all appear above (?)

Looking forward to more, Paul
