I recommend that before you watch this video, go to the description section where I have linked all five videos that lay out his theory in full. Watch those videos first, and then come back and listen to this conversation and it will make a lot more sense to you. I was so excited with the questions I wanted to ask him, that I didn’t give him the time to thoroughly explain the framework, but his videos do a magnificent job of that.
A lesser known fact that relates to songs, frequencies, resonance harmony. Pitch = Rhythm. We think of songs and harmonies being compared of notes, or tones that sounds a certain way together. But, pitch is simply a sound repeated at a certain frequency or rhythm. If I tap my conga slow, I hear a rhythm, but if I tap fast enough, i.e. hundreds of times per second, I will no longer hear the rhythm, but hear a note like A or D flat. All notes are fundamentally rhythms, or frequencies, so harmonies and subs are also fundamentally just patterns of frequencies.
1:10:00 - Opponent processing by itself isn’t enough because there’s no harmonic relationship… i.e. something real and higher emerges from the loving interaction between the parts. Transjective, dialogos, gestalt, etc… The left hand and the right hand have to care about each other or else nothing good happens. Same with mind and body, cognition and emotion, etc…
Only halfway through, but this is incredible. So much explanatory power in all this. Discord and an ache for resolution as a necessary condition for existence at all (and a necessary condition for change). This is a theodicy. And potentially a very good one.
Well I haven't listened to the whole talk yet, but I did check out some and it seems spot on, but please I must say: this is not a new theory! Certainly yes, music is the language of life. "Quantum Jazz" if you will, but also, it is water that is the medium of life, and the residence of the memory of the form world. Yes, every molecule emits its own specific frequency and seeks to find other molecules in resonance with itself, but what makes the music? What or who plucks the string and initiates the vibration? If the mechanisms of action were only through sympathetic resonance then we would only end up with homogeneity, and what is it that makes origination? I look forward to reviewing the whole of this chat, and also hope that my preliminary comment is useful in some way. Cheers
I see where you’re coming from, and I apologize that I didn’t give him the chance to explain the whole idea before jumping in with my questions. The whole concept is carefully described in the five videos I linked in the description section. Listen to those to see where this coincides with but also differs From your comment. My question is, even if evolution can come up with a concept of how the string gets plucked, there still must already be a system of harmonic and resonance patterns into which to fit.
@@TheMeaningCode no need to apologize, I didn't even listen to the whole talk before commenting... I think we're all on the same page here, and really the most important aspect of my comment was to simply say that it is not a new theory. Mae-Wan Ho called it quantum jazz, and I myself like to refer to it as: symphony. Life is a symphony and every living organism is (while acting alive) playing in the band. Within the music there is an unlimited room for innovation and expansive expression, but yes, as you indicate, only within the scope and span of the patterns already in motive existence. Do you play any musical instruments Karen? It is perhaps a gateway into our understanding of origination to study the nature of improvisation in music. I guess I've spent a few years now (lol) doing that and maybe it's why I feel so close to this issue, but I also just love Mae-Wan Ho and her work and wish to keep it alive:) Thanks for all your doing friend
@@tinfoilhatscholar The new part of the theory is not the aspect of the music, but rather all the ways that he sees the music happening. It’s really very complex. You have to watch his videos. Yes, I have played instruments in the past, but now my focus is mainly on art and creativity. I’ve been working on my own theory of the principles of art and design that I believe lie underneath even the laws of physics. Those principles relate to music, painting, Architecture, coding, any aspect of creativity. Do you have a link to Mae Wan Ho’s work?
@@TheMeaningCode I did post a link but I guess it may have been censored... I don't know if it's possible to put links in the comments as a viewer. She (Mae-Wan Ho) founded The Institute for Science in Society and that site is still functional, at least to introduce you to her work.

Yes!

Wow, I had not thought of that. Thank you, Ryan!
Did someone say context?
Oh wow, this is lovely ❤

@@TheMeaningCode ...and of course, Denis Noble's lecture and the main theme of his work for many years was titled "the music of life"
Did someone say tension? 🏃🪁
😂❤
I've been writing a psychedelic punk song with my boys and feeling that evolutionary pressure. 🧑🎤
