Joe,

I like to contrast music with mathematics. But music has one thing  
maths does not, which is that music is more cyclical. The same rhytms  
or beats or melodies - they repeat with certain variations. That is  
why I consider music to be analoguous with a rather deep conception of  
reality. It has repeating patterns which become different by each  
repetition. Sometimes the pattern itself stays the same but is  
differentated from others by how many repetitions of the pattern  
precede it. But more interestingly, there can bee more patterns  
interwoven into the music and they affect each other. A Bach fuga  
would be the most obvious example of such music.
