Philosophy of Structure, Part 2: Music

This is the second episode in a series on philosophy of structure and focuses on the nature of structure in music in particular. Topics covered include the physics of sound, the wave equation, overtones, Fourier transforms, physiology of the inner ear, intervals, chords, group theory, modular arithmetic, transformations, invariance, musical forms, a Borgesian musical Library of Babel (Library of Vienna), musical phenomenology, serialism, and artificial neural networks. The overall objective of the series is to find patterns in structures across multiple fields, like music, to understand a general structure of structure.
