I hear you focusing on philosophy.
What I am focusing on is Western technology as it results from Western mathematics. My persistent quarrel about definitions of words and the use of them in context is not an intellectual exercise about semantics but to try to eliminate extraneous material so that the true crux of the matter can be identified and evaluated.
And I'm already convinced that qigong works. I have no quarrel with that.
But what's the bottom line about Western technology? That it's evil and that we should be living like the Bushmen or Pygmies?

..Weizsacker points out that 'the philosophies are closely related to the grammatical structures of the language.

Quantum Proof for the Analogy of Living: Another way to understand this whole scenario with the polarization filters is to think of our earlier equation, [H = D Å S], as defining one element by its complimentary opposites. Clearly, [D] and [S] are opposites; and they effectively define the nature of [H], so this should not be that difficult a logical leap to make. ...Now, using the principles of quantum logic, (where incompatible elements cancel one another out), we can expand each of the defined attributes; then cancel out the incompatible aspects, just the way we did earlier with [H = D Å S]:
Like Zizek's mythic source, George Frazer's classic cultural analysis, The Golden Bough, that was a major influence on Freud, systematically documents the spiritual process of the "killing of the king" (sacrifice) that in the West became transferred to symbolic structures and reified into a closed linear, one order system. The neuropsychologist Karl Pribram, who did pioneering brain and consciousness research and presented a open systems resonance interpretation of the mind, made a similar case: "...when, because of linguistic and cultural affluence, the means-ends reversal occurs, these languages begin to live lives of their own. Thus complexity is compounded and the original organization can easily be lost sight of."(112)

What is the SIGNIFIGANCE of noncommutative as applied to your theory? Yin and Yang are noncommutative but that doesn't appear to be any problem. You know very well that A x B = B x A IF A = A and B = B. In C to G and then G to C, C does not = C, as they're separated by an octave..The symbol is the same but the value is different. A 4th and 5th are different intervals so why would they ever be expected to be commutative?edit on 7-3-2012 by DenyObfuscation because: right brain skills applied when left brain skills required

We are not allowed to talk about the psychedelic plant chemical that is found throughout our bodies and is made from serotonin -- not allowed to talk about it here on abovetopsecret -- but if you read my book I go into the details of it compared to the full lotus third eye qigong training. haha.
So basically the difference is that in qigong the electromagnetic energy is stored up in the lower tan tien - where the parasympathetic means the sympathetic -- but with psychedelic plant chemicals -- the Mind of Nature -- the neurohormones of the body are turned into kundalini which goes straight to the pineal gland to activate the rainbow vortex shen light holographic energy. In other words in alchemy it is kundalini or jing electrochemical serotonin bliss to electromagnetic energy as chi or prana and then to shen or shakti as laser holographic spirit energy.
The chi or prana is the power that enables astral travel and strong paranormal powers but the psychedelic plants skip the power and go instead for the rainbow vortex holographic information -- so the experience is that you hear the heart spontaneously emit a OHM sound which is the jing being converted to electromagnetic energy but it goes straight to the rainbow vortex holograph.
This is also the Level 4 rainbow meditation in Spring Forest Qigong. The rainbow vortex being the astral body but again the astral body is powered by the qi or prana electromagnetic energy -- so that's why it's necessary to do the meditation to build up the electromagnetic energy or else when we die we just become ghosts experiencing a healing dream of life review and get embraced back into the impersonal consciousness white/black hole vortex that then shoots us back out into another form of physical life. haha.

So I call this the "secret secretions" paradox. Because "secreted" as two meanings -- one as a fluid and the other as hidden away.
As I have explained -- without being crude or vulgar -- the secret is that the vagus nerve is an internal trigger that shoots the lower body serotonin up the spine into the brain and that the vagus nerve is ionized by ultrasound from the pressure on the collagen and bones creating piezoelectric transduction. So when the neurohormones are ionized then they can bypass the blood brain barrier and the vagus nerve when activated then increases the serotonin levels in the brain.
So celibacy in the West implies someone repressing themselves -- but in the East the secret tantra meaning is more bliss and more fun because the male learns to not trigger the external sympathetic stress nervous system that increases the cortisol. So the male does not need to "sleep" afterwards -- or rebuild his energy. The male can over and over have the internal vagus nerve bliss like a female.
Now so this energy once sublimated has to be purified by the heart and the purification means going into the Emptiness as the formless female awareness. Why female? Because the number one is male and so the source of the number one (which is not a number) is female formless awareness. Why is one not a number -- because this process is eternal and impersonal.
So it's sometimes charged that tantra is misoygnist because it relies on dominating females or some such -- but again to create the healing male electromagnetic energy a person has to go into the formless awareness that is female -- not as female form -- but as the Cosmic Mother that will never be unveiled.
So the West has lacked yoga because the West has also lacked the secret of complementary opposite resonance as going into nondual consciousness -- so the body needs to be transformed in order to have the energy to then create the spirit body that survives the physical body. So then as the spirit energy is build up there is then long distance healing ability -- because the body becomes holographic as it becomes spiritual. So the external is experienced internally -- and so external blockages are then healed by the Heart as the secret hole to the female formless awareness - the Emptiness or Nirvikalpa Samadhi.

Well sometimes it's necessary for a little remedial education. haha. O.K. the same "C" -- O.k. -- nothing up my sleeves! haha. 2/3x is F to C now the same C.... again nothing up my sleeves. 3/2x is C to G. Noncommutative means that there is not a one to one correspondence between number and geometric symbol. Well that's actually incommensurability -- but it's closely tied to noncommutative. Chaos is incommensurability while quantum is noncommutative. So you have the same geometric symbol - C to G as 2:3 and then G to C as 3:4 -- it's noncommutative. C to C is an octave no matter what. C to G is a Perfect Fifth but G to C is a Perfect Fourth. Noncommutative. Different intervals but same geometric symbols -- so the numbers don't line up with the geometric symbols. Noncommutative means if you change the order of the operation then you change the value of the operation. Music intervals are based on "pitch" which is subjective -- hence the Paradox of the Devil's Interval -- the tritone paradox. Is it going up or down in pitch? Depends on where you live and what type of dialect of English you speak. haha. In other words if it's C to F# then it can be heard as C with either number value of the octave -- zero or 1 -- or 2 or 4 -- it doesn't matter -- it's the same geometric symbol and the same interval so the pitch based on tritone demonstrates that the octave doesn't matter from the commutative, logarithmic perspective. This is related to the wavelength versus frequency paradox of Retinex for color perception.

Uhh....so in a nutshell, your discovery is that C going a fifth either way ends on two different notes (F to C, C to G)? Really? If so, then you've missed a critical point I saw ages ago in this point, you are measuring one thing using another, non applicable standard. Measuring pounds with a thermometer.
If your point is that, using C as a starting point, that F# has some unique quality because it is more dead center then you are really just talking about our western method being off in practice.
Interesting point, halfway between octaves on a stringed instrument lies the fourth. If you lightly touch the string at this point, an octave harmonic will ring. If we use frequencies, say 440hz to 880hz (octave), half way between is a fifth, 660hz. This will occur regardless of string length or frequency used.
Could you please answer this? In your thought process, do we get a proper and true octave by doubling, exactly the frequency of a given note ie. 440hz to 880hz? Or do you think it should be somewhat different?
By the way, saying sound should not be measured because it is our conscience that perceives it is bulldada. We can measure sound, we can 'see' sound, we know how sound works and is perceived physically. That is no more different than saying light can't be measured because it isn't a tangible, we only perceive it in our subconscious. If we're going all woo-woo, let's go full woo-woo, leave science out. If we're going to use science, then let's not dismiss it willy nilly to suit.
Which makes me think this is why the OP dismisses using hertz in his theory. When we move up in pitch, frequency greatly increases, this is why is can't go in both directions, it is not, nor can never be an even progression because nature herself does not work that way. A very low C is only separated by 2hz to the next note up, C#. A higher C is separated by 8hz from C#. A yet higher C is separated by 52hz from the C#. It only increases going up, decreases going down as per natural law of sound. Using Cents is a different matter of course. Cents has no relationship to the actual natural occurrence of sound.

Is this the Pythagorean comma?
Can you explain what doesn't line up with what?
What is less so is the development that makes the diabolus rise out of this system. What else can this devil be but the destruction of a rational structure incorporated into the very structure from the beginning, as a price of the beginning, so to speak?

... They line up mathematically quite nicely. Only until you get into the upper level of harmonics do you see them not line up. This is why a fifth and an octave sound so well, nice even frequency relationship, naturally occurring and measurable. You say we can hear that the fourth and fifth are complimentary opposites. What exactly do you mean by this? What is 'opposite' in music?
The awkward term “stochastic resonance” stems from a 1981 article in which physicists observed “the cooperative effect between internal mechanism and the external periodic forcing” in some nonlinear dynamical systems [13]. Scientists soon explored SR in climate models [195] to explain how noise could induce periodic ice ages [11], [12], [193], [194]. They conjectured that global or other noise sources could amplify small periodic variations in the Earth’s orbit.
Fourier techniques may not extend well to the general case or broadband or nonperiodic forcing signals found in many nonlinear and nonstationary environments. Wavelet transforms [54], [138], [234], [237] may offer better ways to measure SR effects in these cases when nonperiodic signals drive nonlinear dynamical systems. Wavelet transforms can adaptively localize nonperiodic signals in both time and frequency. Fourier techniques tend to localize periodic signals either in frequency or in time. Arbitrary or random broadband signals may require new techniques to detect these signals and extract their key statistical features from their noisy dynamical backgrounds.

But what exactly is it that doesn't line up?
Infratonic technology is a patented chaotic sound wave in the range of 8.5-13.8 Hertz. It is highly effective in treating pain, inflammation and swelling, and also for calming therapies. The infratonic unit is small and very easy to use. The settings are high, medium, and low. We use the high settings to treat directly on the body, unless you get the odd horse who is too sensitive, but most horses love the high setting and relax immediately.
**Infrasound therapy differs from therapeutic ultrasound in that the sound waves travel through the air. Therapeutic ultrasound must have transmission gel or water to transmit the sound waves. The infratonic produces a very low-level frequency sound, in the range of 8.5-14 Hertz. Therapeutic ultrasound produces a sound wave of 45 Kilo Hertz to 3 Mega Hertz. Ultrasound, if used incorrectly, can cause tissue damage. Therefore, they are two very different modalities, although they both use sound waves.
The fifth consonance (tamizh iLi) is based on the ratio 3/2 and the fourth consonance (tamizh natpu) is based on the ratio 4/3. Note that these consonances are reciprocal to each other. sa : pa = 3/2, but pa : sa (higher octave) = 4/3. Bharata combines these in the phrase vadi-samvadi. Thus the cycle of fourths is not independent of the cycle of fifths. If we start from ni, and proceed by a cycle of fifths, we get ni - ma - sa - pa - Ri - Dha - Ga, i.e. we have obtained all seven notes in an octave. The other notes are obtained by carrying through this cycle once more to get Ga - Ni - Ma - ri - dha - ga. This may have been the basis for reckoning an octave from ni rather than sa in olden times. In fact the tamizh scales pAlaiyAzh, marutayAzh etc. were obtained by precisely this method. However one must remember that these cycles can theoretically be carried on ad infinitum, because they will never give the correct value of 2 for the octave. They are based on a geometric series with a ratio 3/2 (or 3/4 in order to keep each term between 1 and 2). As such the number 2 is the limit of these cycles. Which is why the two cycles stop making practical sense beyond the first few terms. How many is few? The very fourth and fifth terms in the fifths cycle generate a dissonance with the notes obtained from the fifth harmonic, so that beyond the seventh or eighth term, we should probably not stick to this cycle.
The Platonic Year or the Pythagorean Great Year The cycle of fifths can continue much further than the twelfth fifth (note 13), where we are back to the fundamental but it is 23.5 cent higher (5.88 savarts) than the fundamental, a Pythagorean Comma higher. The following 12 fifths will place themselves one comma above the former ones, so the 24th fifth (note 25) will be one comma above note 13, or 2 commas, 11.74 savarts, above the fundamental, C++. In this way successive series of twelve fifths will be placed one above the other at one comma intervals, up to the 52en fifth (note 53). At this stage, after the 52nd fifth, the octave is filled up (52 x 5.88 savarts) and the 53rd fifth, (note 54) comes out of the octave and inserts itself between the fundamental and the 12th fifths, thus forming, above the fundamental a small interval of 0,84 savarts. Thus begins a new cycle, which in its turn, with a period of 53 fifths, will divide the octave into small intervals of 0,84 savarts The next cycle will appear during the seventh series of 53 fifths, when the 359 fifths (note 360) comes out of the octave and forms with the fundamental, a new even smaller interval of 0.47 savarts.(since the comma of 0.88 savarts is 7 times smaller, 7 series of 53 fifths is needed to fill the octave). Then there is a cycle of 666 notes with a basis interval of 0.035 savarts. When we come to the cycle of 25,524 notes with a basic interval of 0.002174 savarts, it begins to be interesting, since this cycle is near the precession of equinoxes or the Pythagorean Great Year, which is 25,920 solar years. (The numbers of fifths are based on Alain Daniélou's calculations in "Music and the Power of Sounds").
