Circular scale, that's really the main thing. It's a new kind of scale like
the olden times when they invented new scales like the eight-note,
twelve-note, and so forth.

Circular scale, nested content, as for realtime art video it's a new level of
composition. So why do people dislike it? It's the first new music scale in
years so why get all negative? I consider it, NN, to be a machine that is
more in tune with how your brain works, so it's easier to think about stuff.
A learning or teaching machine I guess is what I think it is, certainly the
most important one ever.

But what about non-musical heart rates and hormone states (fumos) in modern
humans? Even respiration and posture during intense rhetoric differ
drastically from the musical as we know it at our primitive level. The
circular scale in that shit is the nightmare of history, more chains than
anything; get the fuckers off me! Vestigial play must be punished. Hard!
That's what I would call utopian iconoclasm (or scientific method) and I
think you are relevant to that.

All in all, I must say your writing of late has been extremely interesting
and saveworthy. Congratulations on any critical success you might be
enjoying. Sic transit gloria.

Finest regards,
