[very] -- Morse code
Ancient Greek poets created rhythms based on two quantities — short and long. Samuel Morse used dots (short) and dashes (long) to pioneer electronic communication. Both art and science hit upon the same solution. Is this a coincidence?
If we relax while listening to Morse code transmissions, they become musical. Conversely, if we concentrate very intently on the rhythms of Aeschylus, they become a code. Where does art begin and mathematics end? Bach, for one, does not seem to recognize a distinction, as the subject of his Fugue in C Minor, BWV 546 shows —
Is this pattern of shorts and longs music or a code?
There is much talk about launching a new internet Renaissance for the 21st century. The first step is demolishing the boundary between science and art.
