These ratios are intrinsically pitch translation invariant, so the significance of consonant ratios explains both how pitch translation invariance is achieved, and also why it exists as a precise frequency scaling.

Intensity will be pitch translation invariant, for similar reasons to those that cause invariance of intensity in other maps.

It has robust translation invariance, because it is invariant under any transformation that is monotonic.
