Timothy, I have a certificate from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle, Washington. I studied with these people for a week all expense paid training period for public libraries who received grants for computers and systems that Bill donated across America. I was 50 and most of the men and women employed by Bill were older than me. They had white hair in some cases. Now there were younger people who gave us training and presentations on how to use and teach the applications and how to become systems administrators, but the people who were actually running the systems were the older crowd. Apparently 37 is quite young in Gates organization. This kind of thing requires lifelong learning and the curiosity of a cat. In fact the younger employees appeared to consult the older employees as reference.

I agree with you regarding how to get through formal education with professors or teachers. Your objective is to figure out what that particular teacher wants. Then give it to them. The real world work environment is much different.

Actually music does exist between space and time. I tried to go Dmitiri's URL but it is serviced by a MAC OS X server so I couldn't access it. I did download a file at a similar site using a PC server and opened it with Windows Media Player. It was supposed to be the Chopin. The problem is the visualisation looks just like the typical ones that display themselves during a typical audio tracks play. I was not impressed. That is not a new discovery. I have devised geometric shapes to represent scales and intervals for years. I use them when I practice playing cycles, like the tune Giant Steps by Coltrane. There is a close connection between Geometry and Music. No Bull!
