This is my main issue with theory. It can tell you where things are distant, but the strength of the relationship between two things is entirely interpretable.

I'm not quite sure I get the analogy, yes someones taste for dissonance can vary but the level of dissonance will still get higher the further you go from the fundamental. If it's half the frequency it occurs more times so it gives more support. 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 +1/8 as apposed to 1/7 + 1/14 +1/14 ect.
