I have no idea how any of this relates to the MoQ, but you brought it up,
after all, and I'm beginning to think that is DOES. Why do we see Quality

or a fundamental TRUTH of the Universe? What's up with music anyway? Why
do we respond so profoundly to it?  Where did it come from?  Is it something
of the Biological Level?

Hi Mary,

I¹m sorry I¹m so late getting back to you, and "I don¹t know" to all your
questions.

A whole metaphysics based in the musical octave?  WOW!  Logic:

Arithmetic, Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Geometry, Analytical Geometry,
Calculus, Advanced Calculus, Etc.

1+1=2, 1-1=0, 0-1=-1.  All the disciplines of mathematics sees 0 to be plus
and minus while being neither since it is 0.  Logic is breached in no
definition for 0 except a starting point.  Do, Re, Mi-Fa, Sol, La, Ti-Do
(Double the vibrations of the first Do).  1 has to be defined for logic to
be useful.  Music defines.  The definition is inconclusive.  From 1 to 0 is
1.  From 0 to -1 is -1.  Why does 1-1 = 0?  Why doesn¹t it= 2?

Music is the harmony of the spheres and IMHO the logic of the universe, and
the template for evolution.  And it can be beautiful!
