Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his law of universal gravitation. For decades after publishing it in 1687, he sought to understand how, exactly, two objects were able to pull on each other from afar. He and others came up with several mechanical models, in which gravity was not a pull, but a push. For example, space might be filled with unseen particles that bombard the objects on all…
At the turn of the 20th century, the renowned mathematician David Hilbert had a grand ambition to bring a more rigorous, mathematical way of thinking into the world of physics. At the time, physicists were still plagued by debates about basic definitions — what is heat? how are molecules structured? — and Hilbert hoped that the formal logic of mathematics could provide guidance.
 | Second piece in this series --- focusing on 2\22 (2 steps of 22edo) as the main theme. Stacking this interval gives 11edo, which I use as the main melody throughout, and occasionally I restrict the harmony to 11edo as well, where I try to entrain the 11-limit 4:7:9:11 as consonance, and orgone temperament stuff. 22/2 = 11, which is the usual 600c tritone, so I have tritone substitutions as the secondary theme, as taking two 11edo tunings 600 cents apart will give all 22 notes.
