  Symmetry – additive value; balanced mathematically
  2 + 4 + 6 = 6 + 4 + 2 = 4 + 4 + 4
  Rhythmic fluidity – ratio or fraction relationship
  subdivision of 4 vs. subdivision of 3 = 1/4 vs. 1/3
  Cyclical form – multiplicational value
  number of pulses × subdivision = number of units
available
  Flexibility in standpoint – figure/ground relationship

the 5 and 4 may be coexistant and form a polyrhythm

cross-rhythm
4 4 4 4 4
tala
5 5 5 5
if one is the primary pulse, it acts like a tala (outer structure) with a
gathi (inner structure) of 5 (due to least common multiple of 20)

cycle A1 A2 A3 A4 A5
cycle B1 B2 B3 B4
or both may be coexisting cycles…

in any case, the mathematics works out the same way
= 20 units/pulses
