Science and Music: How the Brain Works in a Musical Way

By Lior

The book is describing how the brain works in a musical way. How people see the world through musical eyes, and through musical perception. Musical chords are in the basic of every brain expression, in the past and in the present: including scientific theories, paintings, movies, plays, books, speeches, conversations, and so on. People see space and time in terms of music: they see anything in terms of music.

People being aware to themselves as musical creatures, can improve their way of life in many aspects, because through music, reality becomes very accurate, clear, transparent, aware.

CHAPTER 1

About the subject:

The man as a musical creature: and the need of the musical brain, and of the musical cognition, to identify a space which is composed, absolute, consonant, smooth, continuous: like London for example. In order to elaborate, we can start and describe the claims of the book.

The claims of the book, are that the brain, and the cognition, are musical, consonant, harmonious, and so does any brain or cognitive expression. Like (for example): words, speeches, scientific theories, literature, poetry, plays, paintings, movies, and so on.

All these cultural expressions, social expressions, or existential expressions, are leaning on music, or musical chords. All of them are based on music, or musical chords. So man is basically a musical creature. And by being aware to that, he can improve any aspect in reality and life: because he is aware to himself as a musical creature: and to his brain and cognition: as musical. (1).

Another very important aspect, of the musical brain, and of the musical cognition, is their need to identify music, or a musical composition, in the space: or to identify harmony, or consonance, in the space: or musical reason. If the musical brain, and the musical cognition, cannot identify this kind of a space: if the musical brain, and the musical cognition, aren’t identifying music, or a musical composition, in the space: so the space is just (seems to be) without reason, wild. This kind of space is relative: which means: relatively musical: a space that is not fully musically composed, (unfinished composition, unfinished musical composition, unfinished space, unfinished composed space, unfinished musical space: relatively musical space: half music and half not: half composed and half not). So this space is like half musical, and half not musical. Half composed and half not composed: half recognizable by the musical brain, and by the musical cognition: and half not recognizable: unfinished space, (in musical terms, musical brain terms, rational terms). Not fully composed. Not fully musical. (relatively musical: that’s the meaning of a relative space, or relativity). (2).

But when a space is absolute: which means: fully composed, fully musical, fully recognizable by the musical brain, and by the musical cognition: so it’s not relative anymore: there are not relative holes in the composition of the space, in the music of the space, in the musical space, in the musical composition of the space: and so it’s an absolute space, it’s fully musically composed space, it’s fully consonant space.

So people as musical creatures, which are striving to harmony, and that need to be in a rational reality, in a reality with reason: a reality with musical reason, with musical rationality: would like to be, or be constant, or be consistent, or live, or act, or be very frequently, very often, many times: in a composed space, in a fully composed space, in an absolute space.

This kind of space is a space with reason, with rationality, which the musical brain, and the musical cognition, can identify, and can recognize it.

The musical brain, and the musical cognition, can identify, and can recognize, this kind of space. People would really love, like, want, need, strive, to be in a space like that: because the musical composition of the space, approves, or confirms, the music in the brain. The musical chords of the space, approve, or confirm, (empirically), the musical chords in the brain: the music of the space fits to the music in the brain. Musical rationality is real, rationality is real, rationality is in the empirical world.

There are musical composition, musical logic, musical reason, in the space: and the musical brain is recognizing it: is recognizing the chords in the space, the music in the space, the composition in the space: and so man is feeling very comfortable, very homely, very convenient, very rational, very logical, in a space like that.

An example for a space like that, (a space which is absolute, fully composed, consonant, tuned, rational, logical), is London: which, (to my opinion), is an absolute space, a fully musically composed space, a space which is fully recognized by the musical brain, and by the musical cognition, and which is fully recognized by the musical rationality, and by the musical reason.
