System synergies: Chaotic or predictable?
I think these two views are contradictory. If we think that components have 'magical' synergies beyond our ability to measure, then it seems unlikely that we also can predict how combinations of components will sound.

Biology is the natural science that studies life and living organisms, including their physical structure, chemical processes, molecular interactions, physiological mechanisms, development and evolution. Morphic resonance is a theory; like any theory it doesn’t have to obey arbitrary rules for what a theory must contain. That would be silly. Theories can be completely original. E.g., Einstein’s theory of Relativity. That’s how we expand our knowledge. A theory does not require proof, but, like Morphic resonance, often contains evidence. There is much evidence for Morphic resonance, if one looks. Obviously, if one doesn’t look, he will not see any evidence. 😬 The theory of Morphic resonance involves Morphic fields, which actually do not obey the physical laws of fields such as electrical fields, magnetic fields, mathematical fields, etc. - nor are they required to. Nor do all types of magnetic fields obey the same laws. The theory of Morphic resonance does include many of the basis concepts of the field of biology listed in the first paragraph above - chemical processes, physiological mechanisms and evolution, the latter being a primary part of Sheldrake’s theory as well as memory. From Wikipedia - The sense of hearing - The sound information from the cochlea travels via the auditory nerveto the cochlear nucleusin the brainstem. From there, the signals are projected to the inferior colliculusin the midbraintectum. The inferior colliculusintegrates auditory input with limited input from other parts of the brain and is involved in subconscious reflexes such as the auditory startle response. The inferior colliculus in turn projects to the medial geniculate nucleus, a part of the thalamuswhere sound information is relayed to the primary auditory cortexin the temporal lobe. Sound is believed to first become consciously experienced at the primary auditory cortex. Around the primary auditory cortexlies Wernickes area, a cortical area involved in interpreting sounds that is necessary to understand spoken words. Disturbances (such as strokeor trauma) at any of these levels can cause hearing problems, especially if the disturbance is bilateral. In some instances it can also lead to auditory hallucinationsor more complex difficulties in perceiving sound. Obviously audio involves both physics and biology. So, I actually your contention that biology theories are irrelevant to audio is a Strawman argument, a logical fallacy. |
