Musica universalis

But I don't think that that matters so much because I do think that it could spontaneously occur to three different people to do the same thing.

I'm talking specifically here about the Music of the Spheres chapter where the particular trope I talk about is a kind of cyclical layer of of music juxtaposed to a linear layer.

And I mean, that is the most fundamentally mythical thing ever because it's a circle and circles just have a kind of mythic element to them.

So of course it would occur to someone if you're wanting to represent something like spheres of outer space or of cyclical time or something like that that using a circle is just a very, you know, fundamental shape to incorporate into whatever you're doing.

On its own terms, showing the story that is in a scientific understanding of the cosmos.

And, you know, again, drawing out enchantment, wonder, and joy in someone's experience of that stuff.

It's kind of the counterpart or the flip side of the Music of the Spheres chapter.
