Musings from a Cosmology of Light #46: Generation of Sound & Music
Euler’s Lullaby-Cosmic Symphony Paradox used the metaphor of music in its effects on audiences. This post will focus on some aspects of sound primarily from the perspective of the Significance of Number in a Cosmology of Light.
Light in its native state is imagined to exist infinitely fast, also displaying properties of omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniharmony or omninurturance. This omniscient-omnipotent-omnipresent-omniharmonious quadrality can also be imagined to have a primal sound that summarizes the infinite potentiality resident in Light, and perhaps that is the most mysterious of sounds referred to as OM.
But further, as summarised in The Significance of Number, the essential unity (1) projecting itself as a creative configuration of unity (2), that is 1 becoming 2, may also be thought of as an ‘octave’. Everything in ‘1’, is through the logic of light-based quadralities, materialized as a complete though different face of itself in ‘2’.
‘2’ becoming ‘3’ so that the decision to create signified by ‘2’ results in a first stability summarized by ‘3’, is in music theory a ‘fifth’. And ‘3’ becoming ‘4’, is the movement from some stability into a first complete manifestation, but can also, in music theory be referred to as a ‘fourth’.
Hence, we can begin to see how the meaning of projections of Light, encapsulated by the significance of number, can in the relationship of ratios such as 1:2 (octave), 2:3 (fifth), 3:4 (fourth), also be the basis of music.
