DESCENDING CONTRACTING SCALE
(The tones form the boundaries of the waves of sound... )

The placement of the tones (round spheres) is not arbitrary, but is based on the position of two coordinate axii with a diagonal running through, along which the tones lie. An absence of tones is called the void... a negative value. An abundance of tones within an area is then matter... a positive value. Four circles lie within the first 16 points. At 9/10, or the tone D-, the first void begins. At 24/25, or the tone Db-, the void ends.
The series progresses in each reductive section from a multiplicity of zig zags, to a right angle to a single line, to a single point...
