RP 1A: The experience of directional motion in music is representable as a “phenomenologically determined hierarchically organised, multi-parameter form-void vector field” — l to r: Cartesian, particle stream and phenomenological wave representations.

RP 2A: Western and Eastern musical forms (and the experience of directional motion within them) are metaphorical of their broader philosophical and cultural paradigms.

RPs 3A and 3B [paraphrased] Reflecting their respective contrasting concepts of time as linear and cyclic, Western and Eastern musical forms are representable as, respectively, helix and vortex.
