No Deduction in the Absolute Musical Force-Field of the Harmony


 
Once we have reached the ab­so­lu­te force-field of the har­mony we real­ize that rela­tive deduc­tion is not pos­si­ble there, be­cause nei­ther space nor time, which are both re­quired for deduc­tion, exist there, al­though there is a per­ma­nent flow of unlim­ited di­ver­sity – be­yond space and time, how­ever.

 
The Space and Time Required for Deduction Are Missing in the Harmony
Here, in the ab­so­lu­te mu­si­cal world of the har­mony, no train of thought exists in which to draw con­clu­sions, like from one state to an­other; for the to­tal mu­si­cal world of the har­mony is, as we find, in­cluded in its en­tirety within even one sin­gle thought, but just as well also with­out a thought.

 
The Total Musical Experience Within and Without a Single Thought
How could we pos­si­bly con­clude there from one in­sight to an­other, sepa­rate in­sight? In pure self-aware­ness, the flow of time re­quired for such con­clu­sion is sim­ply not there.

 
Beyond the Principles of Relative Deduction in Music
In this newly dis­cov­ered, per­fect world of the har­mony the old prin­ci­ples of rela­tive deduc­tion are not ap­pli­ca­ble – and we do not miss them, too, be­cause now the com­plete knowl­edge of mu­sic is the to­tal ex­peri­ence for us.

 
Seen from the in­fi­nite mu­si­cal force-field of the har­mony, con­clud­ing from one thing to an­other turns out to be a very re­stricted proc­ess of know­ing for us – as­so­ci­ated with cor­re­spond­ingly lit­tle ex­peri­ence – and such lim­ited logic would throw us out into the dull world of rela­tive mu­si­cal crea­tion.

 
Relative Musical Deduction as a Limited Process of Knowing
Now, that we make the ex­peri­ence of the ab­so­lu­te mu­si­cal world of the har­mony, any deduc­tion or con­clu­sion – done in space and time – is ex­tremely re­strict­ing to us, does not meet the re­al­ity and to­tal­ity of our mu­si­cal knowl­edge and ex­peri­ence, and is there­fore a fallacy to us.
