COMMENTS

As D_6 is two like interconnected hexagons in an hexagonal prism, this figure is an unexpected asymmetry break to that: {6,6}->{7,5} This sequence has the virtue of tying music theory to both graph theory and and a spacial model in group theory. The sequence gives a type of mathematical "model" for 12 tone music theory. It is interesting to note that: binomial[12,8]=495 Dimension of E_8*E_8=496

EXTENSIONS

This is very unclear. Which numbers refer to vertices of the pentagon and which are the vertices of the 7-gon? Once this is straightened out, the entry needs to be edited in the same way that I edited A131213. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 25 2012
