NUMEN -MUSIC
The wonder of music is that at least some of its content can be captured in formal notation, the rest being provided by the characters of the instruments and the skill and imaginations of the players.
We start the discussion of error control in the space of natural and real numbers, ie in the dialogue between ℵ0 and ℵ1. The Platonic mathematician following Peano and Cantor, just assumes that all these numbers exist. Here we want to show how the error correcting power exposed by Shannon enables the system to bootstrap itself to greater and greater levels of definition, ie creation. Having worked it out between the first and second alephs, we use Cantor symmetry to expand to all the alephs on the upside and back down to the completely simple on the down side.
We increase the size of the message space by making the messages longer and so further apart, and then we can use this set of well defined messages in the larger as single distinct symbols, which can be concatenated to make another layer of symbols, so that we have the distinctly layered structure of the Universe of atoms, molecules, cells, etc.

The original Hilbert oscillator was driven by Cantor's theorem on the complexification stroke and Macmillan's E-theorem on the simplification stroke, and we can represent its action as creation - abstraction - creation or complexification - simplification - complexification. The idea developed about twenty years ago by analogy with the Carnot cycle (which nevertheless, occurs at constant entropy) and Einstein's statement about the emergence of the general theory in his mind. Since then it has fermented and possibly developed to my present state of mind which is still a state of relative darkness and continued hope. The mind is prepared, maybe, but the loop is not yet closed to give a functioning recursive system, ie the realization of my desire. Can but press on, hoping eventually for the orgasmic closure.

The quantum world looks like pure formalism, since as Maxwell (?) pointed out, every atom is perfect and lasts forever without any wear and tear. Maxwell

Being formal and not creative, the quantum world operates at constant entropy and is incapable of explaining how the initial singularity becomes the complex world we live in and are.

On creation = on the source of the entorpic force, which (since Theory of Peace) I have attributed to Cantor's theorem which operates as soon as it becomes unconditioned, ie all its preconditions are met. Therse are in effect a set of processes whose order can be changed to give a new set of processes with a greater cardinal.
Verlinde sees space as the seat of memory, which is good.
The trinitarian doctrine tells us that emergence works by copying a differentiation, which is also the case in genetics, so the ground looks firm enough to tread on, at least tentatively, while not letting go of known certainties.
Verlinde page 2: 'Changes in entropy when matter is displaced leads to entropic force, which we will show takes the form of gravity. Its origin therefore lies in the tendency of the microscopic theory to maximize its entropy.'
Does not necessarily have to be microscopic. We can assume that macroscopic systems also wish to maximize

entropy. The question remains, however, how does a system increase its entropy. Ie how does it create more definitive degrees of freedom which may be fixed to give a point of information, that is a specific message?

An horizon is a network interface and the entropy of the surface measured the bandwidth of the connection. We may, further, think of a single serial wire (or message) as a 'hologram' of the entities communicating over the wire. So we communicate through our surfaces; a serial channel is a one pixel surface, whereas a parallel channel (like the surface of a black hole or another person) may be a massively parallel surface.
