Beschreibung
How do we understand culture and shape its future? How do we cross the bridge
between culture as ideas and feelings and physical, cultural objects, all
this within the endless variety and complexity of modern and traditional
societies? This book proposes a Physical Culture Theory, taking culture as a
self-organizing impulse pattern of electric forces. Bridging the gap to
consciousness, the Physical Culture Theory proposes that consciousness
content, what we think, hear, feel, or see is also just this: spatio-temporal
electric fields. Music is a perfect candidate to elaborate on such a Physical
Culture Theory. Music is all three, musical instrument acoustics, music
psychology, and music ethnology. They emerge into living musical systems like
all life is self-organization. Therefore the Physical Culture Theory knows no
split between nature and nurture, hard and soft sciences, brains and musical
instruments. It formulates mathematically complex systems as Physical Models
rather than Artificial Intelligence. It includes ethical rules for
maintaining life and finds culture and arts to be Human Rights. Enlarging
these ideas and mathematical methods into all fields of culture, ecology,
economy, or the like will be the task for the next decades to come.
