The one place where your diagram (Temperament Widget Mockup) is confused
is how the ratios work.

The ratios should all be in relationship to the **fundamental note** (at
least by default).

Please see:

Yours has only 1/1 ratios, which would be defining all the notes as the
same pitch and same as the fundamental.
