Fact Check

Quoted text:

We can go on doubling the original tonic indefinitely, by successively dividing the string length in half. But that will produce only “empty” octaves (C, C’, c, c’, c”, etc., in a ratio of l:2:4:8:16:32:64:128:256 and so forth.

Can a music expert check that this makes sense?
