Music has value. Standalone value. Perhaps music's value is obvious, but even what's obvious requires notice. And notice requires perception. I don't mean attention, I mean perception: the clarity of mind such that its daily life is its daily rebirth. Stasis is an illusion created through repeated identical changes. Music has value like protein or calcium or air. We are tumbling bubbles of cloudy water with plenty of assumptions choreographing the tumbles. Life, or consciousness, or fractal animation, is change that guides its past, whereby all future decisions necessarily incorporate all previous decisions. A seed, for example, assumes moisture. A plant assumes light. An animal is born to assume the availability of food it can eat. And an intellect capable of deciding things assumes a basis on which to decide. Music caters to this assumption.
