Beats vs cycles vs cents

Greetings,

            I know this is a delayed response on this thread,  but I am 
confused. 

           Granted that 1/100th of a half step is a different numeric value 
for each note of the piano, but 1/100th of a half step is always 100 divided 
into the munber of cycles (or distance) from one half step to the next succesive 
half step up (or down) isnt it?

(100 cents is always a half-step no matter how high or low the
frequency is.
