Re: [Fis] The timings of meaning

Replying to the below: Since we know that ensemble data taken from events
that are limited in kind (musical notes, moves in chess games) can be shown
to satisfy some random distribution (e.g., pairs of moves in chess games
are binomially distributed over a large number of games) or will line up to
show a power spectrum, it is not clear to me that "random noise" is not
just the result of failing to deploy the notes in an "interesting" manner.
In any case, I did not in my message below mean actual music in my word
"music". It was meant more in the spirit of "music of the spheres", which
if the "random" sounding sounds one hears on Short Wave radio are any
indication, might, on my perspective, be conveying interesting stuff. The
problem is that the transformation from interesting data to its random
display is one way, or many -> one!
