To effectively use ryanmen, a player must know the "mahjong octave" or "intervals".
Ryanmen is directly related to [[suji]], or the mahjong "octaves".  At any time, ryanmen waits on a pair based on the three "octaves" of: 1-4-7, 2-5-8, and 3-6-9. 
 
:{{#mjt:000000z23p00000z}} Waiting for: {{#mjt:1p}} or {{#mjt:4p}}
 
In this example, the consecutive {{#mjt:23p}} needs either of the two waiting tiles in order to complete the sequence.  The 1 and 4 is included in the 1-4-7 octave.
