Harmonics | Exit | Acoustics | Light Dark None |
The Spectrum is made of harmonics. A harmonic is a complex of
waves, which means that two or more waves are superimposed.
Numbers |
Numbers are the main tool for describing Harmonics.
There are two kinds of numbers, we strive to keep them separate to prevent confusion to the beginner.
| Decimal |
|
Decimal numbers (base 10, what you count on your fingers) are useful to describe the procedure of a sequence. | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10... |
All decimal numbers will be presented in this color to distinguish them as such.
|
| Harmonic |
|
This is the set of all possible harmonic numbers: | 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 |
All harmonic numbers will be presented in this color to distinguish them as such. Harmonic numbers are not numbers in the usual sense of the word. They have no "decimal" structure, which is idiosyncratic to humans. |
| Waves |
|
The term "waves" in this thesis refers to a sequence of waves. Any single harmonic number is a wave. A wave is represented mathematically by a number: | 5 |
However despite these numbers being merely representational, they still seem to be entities of their own! The reader should bear this factoid in mind throughout the subject of Harmonic Science. |
| Octave |
The
octave
is the fundamental unit of waves. It consists of eight discrete waves in a specific sequence.
This "octave" is not necessarily related to the
musical
octave, although the idea begs research.
| Sequence |
|
Here the octave is read from left to right for explanatorial purposes only, it is the only place you will see it this way. Everywhere else on this site it will be in several different formats: Note that there is no 6 (six). | 5 8 4 2 1 3 9 7 |
This is not "fifty eight million, etc" Read "FiveEightFourTwoOneThreeNineSeven". The 6 is an anomaly. I do not fully understand it. The sequence will never change, although it can go backwards. The octave is a repeating loop in which 7 is harmonically connected to 5. |
| Geometry | Return |
| Harmonics have a geometry of their own which reflects the real universe. Consistent with that fact, they are best viewed vertically and read from bottom to top: |
7 9 3 1 2 4 8 5 | If you are unable to read these from bottom to top your mind is frozen and you should go surf elsewhere. |
The reason for this arrangement is that harmonics are
isotropic
relative to the center of anything. There is more gravity at the "bottom" of the sequence and there is more energy at the "top" of the sequence. The sequence represents a "distortion of waves" relative to any other part of itself.
| Factors |
Put a table here showing the factors.
| Tenor |
| Each wave has what we call a tenor. It is a meaning in linguistic terms that is attached to the number. This is the origin of language, dreams and the ancient philosophy of numerology and is expounded in the Cognition Sector. |
|
All tenor words will be presented in this color to distinguish them as such. The group of tenors expressed here are the most abstract since they are represented by only one number. In fact they are a crude estimate until I analyze the single numbers. Every combination of numbers has a tenor with increasingly specificity as the harmonic is more complex. A complete list at the 3 wave lexicon. |
The term "waves" in this thesis refers to a sequence of waves. A complex of waves is a harmonic, which means the waves are superimposed.
| Complex |
A harmonic in the singular is a misnomer, as it is an isolation of one wave in a complex of waves. There is reality no such thing as "a harmonic", the universe consists of piles upon piles of harmonics.
Question:
But what exactly "is" a harmonic?
Answer:
I don't know. I have been searching for this answer for many years without success.
The best answer I can give is that nothing is vibrating. In classical western science we like to think of vibration as propagating through a medium. In Harmonic Science the vibration is the medium, therefore nothingness itself is vibrating.
