For those who desire to take the communication via the internet seriously yet creatively in matters of the debates in science and philosophy. A place were alternative ideas may stand on their own without the illogical biases of those who think they have the only viable way to view the world, yet hope that in the metaphysics of it all we can find certain truths and facts that stand for the benefit of humanity and the solving of our world problems.

Thematic Interval Music Notation
Here we look at the symmetry of the cycles of the twelve tone group with the question of what rules are there for directions of the melody and why things move or are perceived to move into some direction. (This graph from long ago but now updated to consider negative directions was on my mind yesterday too for that difficult post and its fundamental concepts. Indeed, listening to Debussy on the university radio I recognized the whole tone themes but still the music seemed but an exercise rather than something of intrinsic meaning. Peter, as a future composer I hope this answers some of you questions and you do not lose faith in your enterprise, and thank you for the dialog on all this.
