In graphic Figure 12.09 - Dimensions and Relationships it is clear:
Relative Volume
4+ = 1/8 of 3+ or 3+ = 8 X 4+ or 81
3+ = 1/8 of 2+ or 2+ = 8 X 3+ or 82
2+ = 1/8 of 1+ or 1+ = 8 X 2+ or 83
Numeric Progressions (units)
1st Dimension = Linear = 1, 2, 4, 8.. (Doubling, nX2)
2nd Dimension = Area = 1, 4, 8, 64.. (Squaring, n2)
3rd Dimension = Volume = 1, 8, 64, 512.. (Cubing, n3)
Volumes
Cube Volume = 1 = 13 = 1 on a side
Cube Volume = 2 = cube root of 2 = 1.259922 on side
Cube Volume = 4 = cube root of 4 = 1.587403 on side
Cube Volume = 8 = cube root of 8 = 2 on sidetherefore

Indig | Vol. Units | Vol. Calc | Wavelength | Example | Octave | Note |
4 | 1 | 13 | 1 | 1 cps | 4 | G as 4th octave |
3 | 8 | 23 | 2 | 1/2 cps | 3 | F as 3rd octave |
2 | 64 | 43 | 4 | 1/4 cps | 2 | E as 2nd octave |
1 | 512 | 83 | 8 | 1/8 cps | 1 | D as 1st octave |
0 | C## non-octave |
