Despite the fact that "things " can be seen as "waves", we probably still have to be consider
this a subjective idea that I wholly endorse, if for no other reason that it is fruitful.

I think so. I've just been reading recently
how the ancient Greeks (Pythagorists?) considered
ratios (proportions) part of the order of the
universe. Sounds good to me.

Well, the Hindus also believe this. As do Taoists as well.

I know this about the Hindus, I just didn't want to
go out on a limb when I wasn't completely sure. The Taoists
too? Interesting. I know that many times during my
concerts I feel spiritualy transported, the muse is
in the room and wouldn't be if the music wasn't tuned
in ratios. Being in tune takes the music to another level.

Please take this with a grain of salt, but I quote the recent national
bestseller _The Elegant Universe_ by eminent physicist Brian Greene:

'Music has long since provided the metaphors of choice for those puzzling
over questions of cosmic concern. From the ancient Pythagorean "music of the
spheres" to the "harmonies of nature" that have guided inquiry through the
ages, we have collectively sought the song of nature in the gentle
wanderings of celectial bodies and the riotous fulminations of subatomic
particles. With the discovery of superstring theory, musical metaphoes take
on a startling reality, for the theory suggestes that the microscopic
landscape is suffused with tiny strings whose vibrational patterns
orchestrate the evolution of the cosmos. The winds of change, according to
superstring theory, gust through an aeolian universe.'

A Delicious Morsel, salt included. I wonder if the superstring

JI already has enough math that is useful to JI, so to speak. The relevance
of the math is demonstrated by, and delimited by psychoacoustics, not
subatomic relativistic quantum physics.
