First sentence: Just as the grammar of music consists of harmony, counterpoint and form (sonata, rondo, etc.) which describe the structure of a composition and poetry has its rondeau, ballad, virelai and sonnet, so spatial structures, whether crystalline, architectural or choreographic, have their grammar, which consists of such parameters as symmetry, proportion, connectivity, valency, stability.
