Divergent harmonic series! Yay math!
I have no idea how I'm relevant to thread. I just get excited when I see math.
Your palm muting "position"?

I switch around, but lately I been trying to get it up more around 7.5 or 8 just to get some different tones. Especially lately trying to move my palm off the bridge a little on downpicking to get that trebly effect, kinda dope sometimes.

I think we should all disagree on every aspect of this topic, form independent armies and battle it out Mad Max style in the Thunderdome. 20 men enter, 1 man leaves.

actually, I'm seeing it quite the opposite way
The strings vibrate (logically) more freely the more "room" they have, thus resonating more, am I right?
yes you're right abyss.
In a palm muting situation the closer to the bridge the "beeffier" the tone.
The closer to the center, between the two pickups, the more you get a tight sound, less vibration!
But I prefer closer to the bridge, it just has a better sound to it.
While when you're not palm muting the strings, they for sure vibrate freely if you you play between the two pickups.
Actually, we can go a step further. When you press a node, you're eliminating a lot of harmonics, but keeping a still infinite number of them. If you press the 12th fret, you're keeping the harmonics at 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, ..., 1/2n (for integers n) of the string length. Choke the string at 1/5 its length, and you keep the harmonics at 1/5, 1/10, 1/15, ..., 1/5n (for integers in) of the string length. This is the same as going from the harmonic series 1/n to 1/kn when you press the node at the point 1/k of the string.
The universe is math.

Except instead of random uninformed guesses we could actually use physics and math to arrive at real answers with meaning and justification.

People who want to know what they're talking about and not just what they heard on Harmony Central...
