Given that musical instruments pre-date "the west" by 10s of 1000s of yrs, perfected into practice at least 1000 prior to Pythagoras, even his question re. #consonance at the time was misleading. As stated above, he was simply looking to confirm numerology #biases to uphold his cult-like beliefs.
(Expanding on the 4 points individually) 1. Poor choice of words: "music theory far from finished.." - it's one theory that may never be "finished," as it changes with culture & tech. I was mainly referring to the length of time that we've had the open question on #consonance & origin of the rules.
3. Culminating w/Helmholtz, the lack of explanation for #consonance led to reducing it down to perception & physiology. 4. In all areas, people moved between realms of space & time w/o blinking, as if interchangeable & commensurate, up until relativistic #spacetime & even then, just kicked the can.
One of the examples of analiteration—one of the new consonances I designed. There are several others in today’s post….[[|:-)
