The cause of suffering and scarcity which now threatens humanity is not material. It is neuro-political. The crisis which the human race now faces has been called spiritual, psychological, philosophic. It is best described as navigational. When humanity begins to work for extraterrestrial migration, the competition for material acquisition will gradually diminish because unlimited space, unlimited energy, unlimited resources await in the extra-terrestrial solar system.
Migration is nature's classic solution to the problem of over-population, scarcity and competition.
If all this seems a little far-fetched, I would remind you of the parable of the five caterpillars who, just before their own metamorphosis, see their first butterfly. They should arrest that irresponsible individual and cage her down here on the ground where she belongs. In view of the foregoing it is probably not so surprising that I should be absorbed in the search for a spatial language for the integration of music and image. Most people visualise music as two-dimensional, with time represented by the horizontal lines and pitch by vertically arrayed symbols, as is the convention on paper. The ear resides at the centre of a spherical domain.
