Well I found this on my PC. Stuart was using it last, he don't like the word processor in his.
I knew he was working on some kind of Steel guitar music project but I have no idea.
One time when he was little he came running in the house and told that some little men took him for a ride on their spaceship. I'm beginning to believe that story now after looking at this, it reminds me of a writer and recovering alcoholic who takes a job as an off-season caretaker at the isolated Overlook Hotel.
Does anybody out there have any idea????
He told me awhile back, anything he left on my PC I could use it like it was mine.

It's just binary. No need to panic 
A major chord is, in half-tone intervals, 0,4,7
A minor is 0,3,7. dom7 is 0,4,7,10
In binary, that's 0000,0100,0111 , 0000,0011,0111 and 0000,0100,0111,1010
I once wrote some software to generate every chord available without using the bar for my copedent. Perhaps he's working on something like that. |

There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand the binary system and those who don't .  |

All he told me is he tried f(x) last year and it didn't work, so maybe it's Neptunian.

Stuart got a little irritated when I ask about this.
He said he really doesnΓ’β¬β’t want to discuss it right now, just showed me a spreadsheet of some of his work and said he would put some of it on the Forum when he was finished.
He did say however that this binary thing was only a part of his study of the Golden Ratio as applied to Music. He just gave me a couple of urls that might shed some light on what he is working on.
So I guess we should be discussing "The Golden Ratio" instead of binary stuff

You know, Bo, genius does what it will....
I pretty much gave up on golden after meantone;
integral things and universal integrity, no i'm not getting it, but I worry Stuart is. Oh.. there you are.. it's looking brilliant.
A Utube poster said "Did you realise that by using the decimals as a foundation for your music you aren't actually using the golden ratio?
Because the decimal system is not inherent in nature, only the ratio is!"
Yeah, I don't know what that means either. |

I knew this was going to happen.
I am only using binary as a label not as value or ratio.
Besides this is no big deal as far as I'm concerned.
It's just Calculus with Analytic Geometry 101 so to speak.
It will be of little interest to those who believe the value of X is 90% of the one thing they believe to be all you need to know to be a good steel player. You put all their only things together and its at least a combined 800%, oh well I said enough.
I don't know how to thank you Bo! |

Duh. You said he could use it.

Now this is the sort of taoist math I'm interested in. Your theory charts are looking pretty great, but there's an undercurrent of...
mysticism, for lack of a certain jeu'ne c'est quoi or whatever. I mean, like you have the answer, but couldn't say.
'90% of the one thing they believe to be all you need to know...' is what? If it's an equation...
I don't know what you golden mean, but in a way, I always look for it in many ways.
I think the rabble is arguing that one can't reunify the forces etc etc, duh. If you can think in binary more powers to ya but I'd settle for think.
Materials in the wrong hands published early bring no results.. So the sage in traveling keeps his things close together,
in case the stewardess likes to steal your stuff. 
Or as the Fugs said, 'The thing I like about dogs is they dont' cop your dope.' |

Quantum theory: A boiled egg will float or it won't... both at the same time!
Binary only in terms of applying mechanically something akin to a series of holes and no holes in some form of musical slide rule.
This had little or nothing to do directly with The Golden Ratio, it just happened to be two things I was playing with at the same time.
So you see I can think binary.
Seeming ridiculous is the first step of invention.
Disclaimer: Iβm not a steel player therefore mostly not relevant but occasionally I come up with something useful. But in this endeavor I have no such expectation.
