Could you explain why 6 usually corresponds to the pitch B and not

B does not always mean B natural. In systems where H is a note, B is
the name for B flat. The documentation here is perhaps a little
misleading in that it implies

I think your history of mathematics is a bit off. Seriously. And I
have no idea how you think mean-tone tunings work.

The issue of black notes is a red herring. Even if you restrict
yourself to one pitch, "A" let's say, you will find that there isn't a
single correct value for it. The A which is a major third above F is not
the same pitch as the A that is fourth fifths (less two octaves) from F
(if anyone
