Ok.. once more.... take any ol 12th... say D3 - A4. The major sixth below the lowest note of this particular 12th is F2. These three notes share a coincident at A4 (1)... i.e. the fundemental of A4. So.... to insure the D3(3) is just with A4(1)... i.e. a pure 12th.... then the beat rates of both D3(3) and A4(1) against F2(5) will be the same. This works for any 12th... just take the major sixth below the lowest note, play that with each note of the 12th and compare the beat resultant rates.
