Liebnitz , forever in search of a universal language once said
"musica exercitium arithmeticae occulum nescientis se numare animi "
(music is the excercise in arithmetic in which the mind does not know it is counting)
Much in common with the question of color,say-in shells
The shell's color patterns develop because growth is rhythmic and continious
D'Arcy Thompson pointed out some things in nature look the way they do simply because
FORM BECOMES A FROZEN MEMORY OF GROWTH
How close is that to his famous 'existential angst' -arguably a form of fossilisation (or FOMO fear of missing out).Form in fossilisation is the reverse of being-
Even soft tissue cells can be layered,through certain forms of bacterialisation sediment combinations,or even in amber,or ice..
Why is it only poets who declare ,like Erica Jong- that we are ,like it or not 'light'-
How would words be formed if sound was a function of light,much as rhythm is a function of neurological growth ,as in above's 'Caribbean Music Volute Shell'
Becoming Light is a function of reverse fossilisation ,not just of forms of thought -but being itself as a function of music ,rhythm accurately shared associations?
If this is not happening ,or happening by default ,it is the omission of the scientists and artists themselves.
