what the hell? You're taking it to a literal level that which cannot be
obtained with our current understanding and knowledge of math. You're
attempting to build a solid bridge, something we can accept undisputedly,
between music and math, but since we don't yet have all the bricks and
materials required to build such a bridge, you attempt to build it with what
we have so far. (and some of those bricks and materials are uneven and
misshapen) You end up using some of the bricks and materials that weren't even
meant to build bridges between math and music, or even worseyou place the
bricks in the wrong place! AND!! Even worste than that!!! You become
overconfident in your "progress", TOTALLY INCONSIDERATE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
ERROR, in a frantic impatient coinceded vain attempt to grasp everthing at
once for the purpose of going nowhere fast, yay. Why not just all of you take
a step back and come to the consensus that we humans, especially your "modern"
ones, don't know jack shit about anything really.
When you want to build a skyscraper, you start with the foundation first.
