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... |
