Self-referential definition

[edit]

"Perfect intervals are also defined as those natural intervals whose inversions are also perfect, ...".

But this is a circular definition since it uses the concept of perfect to define perfect. Should it be rewritten like this:

"Perfect intervals are also defined as those natural intervals whose inversions are also natural, ..."? 81.175.221.202 (talk) 14:33, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
