| Summary: | Analysis of the mathological musicology in the basic wisdom literatures of several ancient cultures indicates that wisdom derived from the discovery that the human brain's perception of harmony, the vibration nodules of the monochord, and mathematical ratios all possessed homologous structures. Plato developed this into a general audial ontology unifying psychology, physics and mathematics into a Natural Law science that produced the structure of his political dialogues. Platonic form is shown to have a sciential foundation in a phenomenological realism that is compatible with the neo-Pythagoreanism appearing today in physics and biology. |
