Ciphers by Daniel Kordik - N.O. Moore
Cipher: code
Cipher: number
Cipher: zero
Cipher: continuously sounding note
Music and mathematics, harmony of the spheres, etc. If there is a quantitative order to the universe, there is no reason to suppose that it should be transparent, self-evident, or enlightening. The numbers always stand for something else: myth equation. Counting and measuring are not the same thing, but in both activities zero is never far away.
Something out of nothing? Negentropic countdown, approaching zero.
A note having been sounded does not cease on release of the key. Haunted pipe? An envelope error? Or something in the place where nothing should be? The quantity is always larger than expected. What does it mean to say that there are more integers than primes?
Better to say: a cipher is a means to make the envelope indiscernible or subliminal. Blurring the outlines of the articulation. Is that a ‘bad’ infinity?
Fractal resonance: the closer you listen, the more there is.
