Harmonic Principle	Elaboration
HP: 6.38 – Communication is based more on timing than frequency (pitch) or waveshape (words).	What one says is not as important as how one says it. Words are not as important as the way in which they are spoken. In an experiment, approximately 100 American linguists were asked to listen to English words spoken in the heavy accent of a Chinese national. The percentage of correct understanding of the words was less than 15%. When a recording of these pronunciations was processed through a computer, which changed the timing (placement of accent on vowels) to more correctly match that of English, understanding jumped to nearly 100%. The place the accent is put on vowels is similar to the place the "One" (Upstroke Beat) is put in music, thus determining the time signature. Music is also a time related communication phenomenon. It has been shown that communication in animals, humans, and perhaps all life takes place mostly in the time domain rather than the frequency domain. This time domain signature is the amplitude-modulated envelope of the communication called the “Essentic Waveform.” The Essentic Waveform is the micro-component of music that carries the emotional content. This modulation is what allows pets to understand humans even when they do not understand words.
HP: 6.39 – Rate of growth and development is limited by basic survival requirements of existence called “Time and Space (evolutionary) Governors.” 1 1The Urantia Book, The Urantia Foundation, Diversy Park, Chicago, IL.	The freedom of choice afforded mortal beings requires certain limitations on the actions of individuals. To protect the whole of mankind, the individual part must be somewhat limited to an arena of choice. The limitations imposed are based mostly on relationships between time and space, like not being able to be in two places at once, or to travel in time. These speed and location “governors” function as a brake on over-accelerated rates of change, and stabilize otherwise dangerous situations. The governors guarantee eventual self-regulation and self-government by preventing individuals from taking unfair advantage over the group. The survival requirements of food, defense, shelter, etc. cause individuals or cooperative groups (families, nations) to engage in activities that require significant amounts of time and space, and therefore, the energies of life. Time left over is available for leisure, but only after the crucial requirements are met. This forces wise individuals to use their leisure time wisely to acquire more. The battle for extra time to do the things one wants is a matter of balancing self-liberty and self-control. Societies that promote apathy and mediocrity eventually stagnate and die. Those that promote unchecked individualism move too quickly into unchartered territory and fail or end up in rebellion. The only truly appropriate time perspective is that of the now - recognition of, respect for, and life in, the eternal, everlasting now. The irrational mathematical constant “e” governs rate of change. Fibonacci proportions rule the frequency of change. The "Time Governor” could be a term indicative of the action of all the transcendental irrational numbers like e, pi, and the √-1, which control, regulate, and modulate the rates things can grow, cycle, or change without disruption or stagnation. Reminder: Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as fractions with whole numbers. They are generally roots (such as the square root of two) or constants (such as pi and e). They cannot be completely, exactly expressed as decimal numbers because they never terminate (end) or repeat themselves.
HP: 6.40 – Timing is harmony in time and proportion in space.	Time is the realm of Michael, the Creator Son. Space is the realm of the Divine Minister. Music and art are examples of timing, the harmonizing of Time and Space.
