If you read all of the pages in "Phionic Geometry" and "The Phionic Series" I believe you will find it an overall neat and compelling package. It is interesting how by applying Phi to the octave, without forcing anything we come to a complex and interlaced structure that fundamentally resolves to a system so close to our current model of equal temperament and very human concept of musicality, but with the unique weave of this "bridge interval".

Through the weaving of this interval expressed through multiple scales at once, it is also very compelling how other scales along the series can complement one another and achieve quite precise musical intervals.

With the notion of being "in tune with the universe" being thrown around these days, such as A = 432, there seems to be an abundance of vague, unsubstantiated statements. But one could imaginatively see how, rather than one exclusive linear scale, the universe being everything, would probably more closely relate to a series of interlaced, holographic relationships which complement each other, rather than contradict, such as we see in this series.

There are definitely more interesting relationships to be found in the series, as any system based on phi will have an abundance of emergent properties especially in an infinite one such as this. It is worth further practical experimentation and exploration.

Thank you for reading into this little project i have been working on, and i invite you to use it and share it however you see fit. Any updates or new information will be added onto the website and i will be doing my own experiments to further the concept. Tuning my own instruments to this system i have already seen for myself that conservatively it sounds just fine, quite good in fact when done right, this also goes for the "Phionic chorusing" concept. How ever you decide to utilise this, I would be interested in hearing about it and your experience. Used intelligently and creatively there is definitely some practical and valid applications of this system that are possible.

Abstract

If we stretch our imagination and thinking for a moment, let's be creative with what connections we can make and relate to this system. There are a lot of mysteries in this life, one of the main ones being ourselves. If we were to look to nature and see how things form, we may postulate that these geometric patterns that we see, are springing from a possible sub-reality template of existential conceptuality.

If we supposed that this fractal underpinning was a growth principle for this reality, then we could assume that we would see this everywhere and within ourselves, not just our body but within our consciousness. The mystery of the human spirit has been at the heart of philosophy as long as we have existed. The fact that we express such a remarkable and confounding sense of being, an actual individual isness or spirit, instead of existing as simple efficient organic automatons has been an "elephant in the room" for most soul seekers.

If we look to the brain, the supposed source of this consciousness, we see a remarkably complex, yet efficient system that runs on relatively very small amounts of energy, compared to the processing power of a modern computer. In order for such a system to even exist, the foundation would have to be based on very simple and efficient principles. A fractal system is one of, or the most efficient, simplest methods of processing and complexification, and seems like a logical basis building an extremely complex but low energy organic system.

There is a link between fractality and the substantial beingness we experience, and it is reflectivity. basically, without the contrast one thing relative to another, it becomes impossible to define anything. In principle without some kind of sense input or mental sensation or stimulation that gave the sense of "other", you would actually have no idea you even existed or have any experience at all.

Conversely, we can see that this intense beingness that we experience is the result of an abundance of reflectivity within the system. Basically, we all know our minds have layers and different perspectives on a subjective level, and when we look deep inward, it is akin to looking down a long hall of mirrors. Basically, all of the fractal iterations of your own consciousness are reflecting and reverberating off of one another is such a way that is quite analogous to being completely surrounded by mirrors and each mirror looking into all the other mirrors at the same time, amplifying this sense of individuality, YOU.

I relate this particular consciousness theory to the Phionic Series in the sense of resonance, all physical objects have a fundamental frequency, and it is likely more transcendent concepts like the mind, for example brain waves, have their own frequencies and responsive ranges. In the same way that, only can you open a lock with the right key that has the correct grooves and spacings to hit the pins inside, then possibly with the correct series of frequencies, you can hit all the notes that represent the fractal iterations of a consciousness system and like a lock and key, unlock it.

We all know that music has a special ability over our minds to shift our perspectives and move us to feeling, why exactly? perhaps these certain harmonic chords and musical pieces are resonating certain nodes within our consciousnesses, reflecting back to us who we are on a deeper level, Thus we feel connected and expressive.

One personal anecdotal experience I will relate to this theory of fractal conciousness, would be the time i was working on a design project and when you arrange the star pentagons to fit into their consecutive corners, you get a golden ratio shape called the "Lute of Pythagoras". After a good half a day of being absorbed arranging these stars into all sorts of patterns, i needed to have a nap.

Upon waking i found myself paralysed in a strange way, as if i could not orient myself in a time and space, and experientially I was travelling down a series of these stars, which inside them, the present moment was looping over and over again. It took some amount of concentrated will power to break out of it. And looking back i found it rather fascinating.

Had my brain, after staring at golden ratio proportions all day become unlocked and loosened its grip on its default functioning? Either way i will attest to my sanity as being intact.
