This document proposes using electronic music composition to develop a new cosmological model of consciousness. It discusses modeling consciousness as a compositional workspace using concepts from quantum physics, wave mechanics, and neuroscience. The document outlines an operational method for composing "life music" by designing sonic topological spaces that represent mental and physical phenomena like proteins, cells, and the galactic field. The goal is to extend models of consciousness into new acoustic and conceptual territories.
Musical meditation and electronic music's potential to develop new models of consciousness
1. “I think identifying with a sound is
meditation.”
“A musical meditation is when you
completely become the sound.”
Conversations with the composer by Johnathan Cott, Simon and Shuster 1971 p.34

7. Part I: Models of cosmology (The Paradigm)
The Alfven model of the galactic system, as a system of
self-twisting Birkeland currents, had established a revolutionary
platform for perceiving a galaxy in terms of an electrodynamic
galactic system that accords not only with known physical
principles, but also accords to the present day with the observed
motions of stars in the real galaxy.

13. Operational terms for composing life
music.
1. Conceptualize and create a form.
2. Impose an action within the form.
3. Prepare a thought form.
4. Design a mental acoustic space.
5. Develop a sonic space.
6. Create within that sonic space.
7. Create dynamic interactions.
8. Selection of conceptual ingredients

Joel Sterneimer, a French theoretical
physicist working on the theory of matter
waves. This theory states that matter is
composed of waves, not particles. Based
on this principle, Dr. Sterneimer concluded the
following:
1. waves oscillate
2. if there is oscillation, there is sound
3. if there is sound, then it can be captured

MIT scientists have converted the molecular structures of proteins
into audible sound that resembles musical passages. Reversing the
process means they can introduce variations and convert the music
back into new proteins.
