I'd love to hear your ideas about this, if you don't mind.
i have studied this at great length, and i still don't have any great answers. what i can say is that our entire world is based on times, timing, and relationships between frequencies. music is able to deal with all those things, completely raw. so that may explain why it has the powers it has, but still doesn't explain exactly how they work. to figure that out would be to truly figure out the nature of consciousness, which by its very nature is extremely flexible and has a mind of its own (is a mind of its own). which might explain why it can be so impossible to find any rules for it
