Counting

Music is math expressed as sound. Music is math expressed as sound. Music is math expressed as sound. ZERO is math expressed as sound. ZERO is ONE expressed as sound. ZERO is ONE exZERO as sound. ZERO is ONE exZERO as ONE. Music is math expressed as sound. Speaking in poetic meter of a trochee(MU-sic)and three iambic feet(is-MATH ex-PRESSED in-SOUND)creates a pulse, much like that of a heartbeat. The heartbeat is a base 2(binary,[01]),hemiolic, mathematical operation. In music we call this operation "steady beat."

The heart beat itself is a rotation of the emphasis in metric pulse from a division of three to a division of two, or vice versa. Sounding like the stress and repose of iambic and trochaic poetic meter, this “hemiolios,” meaning one and one-half, was originally used to describe the frequency ratio of 3:2. Musicians recognize this frequency as the dominant overtone (fifth degree) of the “gamut” (musical scale) or “SOL,” from ut-re-mi-fa-sol-la-sa-ut (do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti[si]-do). Hemoglobin is the iron-based, oxygen-carrying metalloprotien found in our red blood cells. It is what transports oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. In the seven-note diationic scale, the dominant function creates the greatest tension (instability) and needs to be resolved to the tonic I-V-I. This could be thought of as the breathing process of taking in and letting go of oxygen.

Sol also refers to sun or a cleansing force. In the Devanagari writing systems of India and Nepal, this force is represented as an unbroken curved line (circle) or a void illustrating a relationship between the psychophysical and worldly experience. This circle is called sunya, or zero, in sandskirt. The number “one” or sandskirt “eka,” is a rotation of the “void” sunya, to reveal a pattern that resembles a “loop of rope” with the circle at the top and a curved line trailing from the circle. Eka shows the rotation of the metaphysical to the physical, or the process of zero moving to one.

The Egyptian cartouche (shenu) shape represents a loop of rope in which a name is written. The shenu serves as a protector of that name inside of it. In Hebrew this symbol is called ayin and means “the eye.” If this symbol is rotated on its side, it will also show a similar zero to one process.
