Well. The thing about this is that music notes on a keyboard aren't absolute although numbers are. Music notes on a keyboard are just notes that humans hear. Between C and C# there are other frequencies of sound vibrations. The harmonics between notes are frequency differentials that can be applied to any other two notes on the keyboard as long as the differential between the notes are the same. Thus, you can have one song played in many keys.
The point is, notes on a keyboard are selected frequencies based on human choice. Numbers are universal values. You can't assign any particular note to any particular number. However, you can possibly assign frequency differentials (harmonics) to numbers. Maybe.
Justin, what's it going to take to get you off your HUMAN's chit don't stink trip?
Humans did kNot create this Matrix, it's a Construct, which means it WAS CONSTRUCTED FOR YOU, kNot by you!
If you can ever get that into your head, then you'll realize that everything is how it is for a reason and humans didn't figure out ANYTHING! YOU ARE DUMBER THAN TURDS sew how could you have gotten as far as you have without help?

What will it take to convince you that you're not always right, and DEFINITELY do not know everything, Toad?
Maybe you're the arrogant one...stop pretending to be a toad, and accept that you don't know everything.
Maybe then you'll get somewhere, instead of knowing/thinking a whole lot of nothing.

I think EVERYONE here knows SpiritScience by now. The original thread was jam packed with ATSers.
I've been here almost 10 years and just heard of them this year so don't be so certain.
Does no harm sharing it. Again.

Interesting idea. Thing that occurs to me is, the sequence could start with C=0, as it does, but then wouldn't it need to use the natural scale, based on the mathematical harmonic sequence? Once you get past the third or fourth harmonic (I don't remember which, at the minute) the notes are not quite the same as those we use in our modern "tempered" musical scale - the notes in that, compared with the natural harmonics, are approximate, basically arranged like that so that we can play in any key. The sample clips in this thread so far are in the tempered scale. That doesn't quite make sense to me, in terms of your theory (the natural scale would sound a bit out of tune to us now). What do you think?
