Beats and Tones: Patterns, Emergence, Causality


Think of a straight line. Then break it into two pieces by chopping the middle third out. Now you have a beat, the space between the lines; and two beats, the lines. Then chop the middle thirds out of those lines. You have some more beats. And more beats-as-lines.

Eventually you end up with Cantor dust. Cantor dust is weird, because it has infinity pulses in it, and infinity no-pulses. Infinity beats and infinity beats-as-lines.

Think of a continuous tone. Now interrupt it. You have a beat and you have two beats, or pulses. You have tones. Any type of tones. All types of tones, just hypnotones. Nature is a reification of this kind of configuration space, in the sense I defined in a recent post.

Listen to bleep music. This is Hypnotonic by Hypnotone.
