 Introduction
 
The principles governing music are the same as those that govern the entire universal mechanism, and are therefore capable of expressing the conceptual terminology of most, if not all, of the major sciences. As a language, music can unify all of the sciences.

Used as a scientific language and model of how things are, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Sociology, Psychology, and all of the other complex sciences would become simply special cases of the Music of the Spheres.

     The universal rhythm of the square root of minus one is the universal music scale ranging from zero to infinity.

All music scales consist of a fundamental key note and its specific number of associated harmonics.  Ascending these harmonics results in a return to the original key note one octave higher.

Under perfect conditions this is generally considered to be exactly double the frequency of the original, but in practice, it usually falls short or slightly exceeds double. Because humans think in terms of seconds, the beginning of the music octave scale starts at one second and ascends approximately 100 octaves to Planck’s constant.

In addition, it descends approximately 100 octaves to minus one. Each octave is shown to several decimal places and multiplied by the power of ten at that location. Since the scale begins at 1 Hz., the first octave is shown at 2 Hz.

 There are approximately 100 octaves of universal music above, and 100 octaves below the human range of hearing, divided into three separate but overlapping and transmuting modes, which convert back and forth at specific points along the universal spectrum in 21 octave increments.

     1.  Electromagnetic waves

     2.  Sound waves

     3.  Gravity waves

These waves convert back and forth from one to another constantly. The overtone harmonics of a bowed string theoretically progress to infinity. However, the air molecules cannot carry a tune higher than approximately 520 million hertz.

The harmonics that progress beyond the ability of air to carry them transmute to electromagnetic waves that travel on electrons. Sound first transduces (converts) to heat, then light, and beyond. Likewise, sound can convert into gravity waves on the lower end of the scale via the pressure of its waves.

The Universal Vibrational Spectrum consists of ten sections of 21 octaves each. Gravity contains five of these (21, 42, 63, 84, 105 Hz.), Sound contains two (21, 42), and Electromagnetism contains three (63, 84, 105). At each of these nodal points the mode of the vibration changes.

     There are many different music scales based on different ratios of harmonics and number of notes allowed in each octave.

Ancient Triune Scales (G – B – E).

Pentatonic Scales (G – A – B – D – E): Eventually became minor notes of Diatonic Scales.

Diatonic Scales (C – D – E – F – G – A – B): Major C Scale.

Chromatic Scales (C – C# - D – Eb – E – F – F# - G – Ab – A – Bb – B).

     Equal Temperament based on 12 notes and Concert Pitch of A440.

     Pythagorean Scale based on 12 notes and Natural Pitch of C256.

     Just Intonation Scale based on Scientific Pitch of One.

 The natural music scale does not exactly double in frequency from octave to octave.

The natural music scale should reveal the unity and uniformity of nature, and have perfect relationships such as the octave returning to itself each time as an exact multiple of the former. However, it does not, as any mathematically perfect music scale does not exactly double from octave to octave, and misses by some small fraction called the Great Diesis.

This phenomenon sets up the harmonic diversity of unified reality by introducing a slight imperfection into all material and waveform manifestations.

The Equal Temperament Scale of modern western civilization forces the non-uniform perfection of nature (where a fifth equals 7.01955000865 times the value of a semitone) into a uniform imperfection where a fifth equals exactly seven times the semitone value. This allows transposition between all twelve notes of the keyboard.

In addition, the international music community has chosen A440 Hz. as the standard concert pitch with which to tune all instruments. However, the frequency of A in the middle C octave of the natural music scale is 426.66 Hz. This must be taken into consideration when comparing frequencies.

There is much research being conducted now regarding the Great Diesis,1 what it is, what it does, and what its meaning and value is. It appears to be some type of timing disturbance, which dictates the basic harmonic of all reality. The time domain unit of the Great Diesis is 1.024 seconds.

It is thought by some that harmonic relationships and control systems based on this number (1.024 seconds) can be used to create standards of nutrition, rest, recreation, emotional stability, and spiritual awareness, or on the negative side, be used to create weapons of unlimited destructive power.  

1 In music theory, the term interval describes the difference in pitch between two notesThe interval between E and F, however large, is a diesis.

      The natural music scale and universal rhythm of the square root of minus one are based on entropy-oriented composition.

It is becoming ever more evident that music notes have many of the characteristics of the elementary particles, that their patterns of relationship parallel the structure of the universe, and that they follow the same laws of thermodynamics as crystals, gases, or any other measurable substance.

Perhaps to create a musical masterpiece, the only requirement might be to keep the disorder of the music low enough to give it some recognizable pattern, yet high enough to give it individuality and an element of suspense or uncertainty. The universal pitch has been shown to be:

     The frequency of the ultimaton (the most basic unit of matter) is:

          Universal Pitch = hv where:

          h = Planck’s Action Constant = 6.547e-27 erg/secs.

          v = Frequency = 3 x 1040

     v = mc2 / h where:

          v = Frequency

          m = Mass

          c2 = Speed of Light Squared

          h = Planck’s Action Constant (relationship between frequency and energy)                                                              

The solution to the above equation for an electron is approximately 1.24 x 1016th power. As the electrons begin to aggregate into protons, neutrons, mesotrons (an elementary particle responsible for the forces in the atomic nucleus), and the even larger accumulations of atoms, molecules, and compounds, they do so in quantum additions of the above frequency.

Stated differently, matter is composed of a compound series of simultaneous notes, not just a single frequency. These notes are accumulating musical 2nds, which cause attraction and rotation.

In addition, as each new electron/proton pair accumulates, the frequency signature of the atom both increases and decreases. As more protons are added they pull the electron orbits closer to the nucleus, which increases their frequency. As orbital shells are filled, the electrons are forced into larger orbits further from the nucleus, lowering their frequency. In this way the atom’s signature expands in both directions becoming “fatter.”

      Each music key note has a specific emotional energy.

Key notes and their energy are:

     Key Note      Energy

          C              Predictability

          C#            Dignity and Majesty

          D              Yearning

          Eb             Mysterious (eludes explanation)

          E

          F              Lighter Mood

          F#            Heartfelt

          G

          Ab

          A

          Bb             Licentious Abandon

          B

Changes of key may also represent changes in mood. Many composers associate certain keys with specific emotional content but, in very general terms, major keys are cheerful or heroic, while minors are sad and solemn. Moving from a lower key to a higher often indicates an increase in energy.

 Music is composed of over one hundred various micro-structures.

Strains of music are literally the living composition of over a hundred factors from the fundamental tone, resounding body harmonics of the instrument, the ability of the musician, characteristics of the environment through which it travels, and the tensions in one’s own ears and brain.

Each of these micro-structures has a different effect on the listener.
